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.

  5. For each file you want to upload fill in the following fields.
    • In the Title field, add descriptive title. This will make finding the uploaded file easier when you return to your Assets Store.
    • Add a description in the Description field. This can be seen by whomever you share the asset with.  Descriptions should include a short summary about the asset so you know what it is later (what class it was from, reflection about why you saved it, what it shows about you. etc.).​​​​​​
    • Add Alt Text in the Alt Text field. Short for alternative text, this descriptive text is used by screen readers explaining the content in the file for people with visual impairments. Learn more about writing alternative text.
    • Add Tags in the Tags field. Tags can be used to group like items together. Tags can be anything you want, for example: #GE ePortfolio; #Academic Integrity PSA; etc.
