An important aspect of working with PebblePad is knowing the lingo. Two essential terms to understand are Assets and Resources.
An Asset is anything that you create in Pebble+ or upload to your Asset Store. Assets contain personal content - content that you have added, that is meaningful to you, and that you can go back and edit or delete as required. You own your Assets and have full control over editing and sharing. You decide who sees which of your Assets, for how long, and what they can do with them, except auto-shared assets.
A Resource is guided learning experience designed to elicit learner engagement. Resources in PebblePad are templates (single-page forms) or workbooks (multi-page forms) that provide structure and prompts for you to create meaningful records of learning and experience. There are generic PebblePad templates available for you to use (like Reflection templates, Action Plans, Meeting Records, etc.), but custom templates and workbooks can also be created and shared with students. Resources are typically shared by instructors either through a share URL or directly through the PebblePad Resources Store.
A Resource is like an empty form - one that you haven't added any content to yet. When students save their content in a Resource it saves as an Asset in their Asset Store. For example, instructors may create a template (Resource) to share with students in a course. When each student fills in the template, they will each generate their own Asset that contains their personal information.
