Caution
Accessibility in PebblePad
Prior to developing and sharing content using PebblePad, please carefully read over the Accessibility in PebblePad guide. These guidelines provide strategies for creating accessible content and information on how to get assistance with accessibility concerns.
Any user with accessibility concerns may contact ePortfolio@osu.edu. eLearning Support staff will coordinate with a student's instructors to arrange appropriate accommodations. Students with existing relationships with Student Life Disability Services can reach out to their Access Specialist for assistance with PebblePad. The eLearning Support Team can work with the accessibility specialists to provide additional training and technical support for the tool.
HEIC files, the standard image format for Apple users, do not get saved in the PebblePad system as an image file and, therefore, will not show a preview when added. You will need to convert these to other image file types such as (.JPEG, .jpg, or .png) in order to be used as images in PebblePad.
To convert HEIC files to JPEG, you can:
- Use Adobe Express tools. Adobe Express includes photo editing tools that allow you to convert files to .JPG, .PNG, and more. Then download the .JPG format to use in PebblePad.
- Attach a HEIC to an email in Outlook. Attaching an HEIC file to an Outlook email automatically converts it to a .JPEG file that can be downloaded and added to PebblePad as an image.
