Managing your Resource Store

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. Learning Systems 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 Learning Systems Support Team can work with the accessibility specialists to provide additional training and technical support for the tool.

The Resource Store in PebblePad refers to the places where Resources are stored and managed. Once you create a template or a workbook in the Get Creative space or a Resource is initially shared with you to complete, they get added to your Resource Store. In addition, generic PebblePad templates are available that you can use or copy and adjust as needed.

Your Resource Store provides extensive information about each Resource. Managing your Resource Store is important. All your Resources are added into the same bucket in the Resource Store, so filtering will be important. Therefore, naming conventions and tags will become essential for finding projects.

Modifying a Resource that has been shared with users changes it for all users. This can have a significant impact on their progress. For corrections of small typos or minor changes this might be ok. We recommend that you make a copy of the Resource before there are larger structural changes.
