Sharing an Asset

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. 

Everything you create or upload into PebblePad is private unless you choose to share. Assets shared are not searchable by search engines so only people who you share the URL with or who you have given direct access within PebblePad or Atlas can access your Asset.  

To share an asset, you will first need to choose permission options and then copy the URL generated by PebblePad to submit in Carmen or share with your intended audience.

Some programs using Atlas, PebblePad’s assessment platform, may require the use of Workbooks or Templates that are set up to automatically submit user work to the assessment platform. This may include GE Bookends, Honors, and Scholars workbooks but could include others. You may still need to submit the Share URL for the Asset with your individual instructor for credit on the assignment. 

  1. Log into PebblePad via the login page or click the PebblePad link in your course navigation menu.
  2. From the Pebble+ Dashboard, go to your Asset Store.  
  3. From the listing of assets, click the asset you want to share to open it. OR you can share the asset without opening it by clicking the “i” icon to the right of the name of the asset you want to share.  
  4. Click the I Want To... button at the top right of the screen. 

  5. Click Share.

    If you’ve already shared the Asset before, click the Edit my existing web share button to adjust the permissions or grab the share URL again. The URL is the same as the first time you shared it, even if permissions are changed.

  7. In the Set Some Permissions for this Share... section of the dialogue box, select the permissions that are appropriate for sharing the Asset. Follow the instructions provided by your instructor, if available. 

    If the View for a specific amount of time option is selected, be sure to select an expiration date that goes beyond when the instructor or the person you are sharing it with needs to view the Asset. Otherwise, the recipient will not be able to view the Asset. For example, select a date after the end of the semester.
