A note on Trial accounts

If you are prompted to create a trial account, you should not do this.  There is no way to link your Griffith account with a Trial account.  Once a trial account expires, you will need to manually recreate any Assets and Resources created using the trial account.

IMPORTANT: Please refer to the Copyright Guide for Students before using any material that was not created by you.

Pebble+

Pebble+ is the Personal Learning Environment where students create assets as records of their academic or personal learning experiences. These assets can then be combined within an ePortfolio to reflect progress over time

Assets

• An asset is anything created or uploaded to Pebble+
• Assets are generally records of learning, achievements or goals
• Tags can be applied to assets to make them searchable/to group them
• Assets can be targeted toward a particular purpose (eg. employment portfolio, creative portfolio, internship reflections)
• Assets can be kept private, shared with other people or shared publicly on the web

Resources

• Resources are fillable template pages or collections of templates (workbooks) created by teaching staff for a specific learning task
• Templates and workbooks are generally created by teaching staff and made available to students (via ATLAS) to complete over time to record their development and achievements
• Students are also able to create their own templates and workbooks!

Workspaces

• Used for assessment submission via Share for Assessment

How to Share for Assessment

1. In Pebble+, open the asset you’d like to submit
2. On the top-right, click on I want to…
3. Click Share – a pop-up window will appear with various sharing options
4. Click With ATLAS
5. Click on the relevant workspace in the list to select it – ensure that a green tick appears next to Can I share? below the workspace title.  (A red X means that you are unable to submit – this can be for various  reasons, including: the workspace is not yet open for submissions, the  due date has passed or you have already submitted to that workspace.)
6. Agree to the Terms of Usage by ticking the checkbox
7. Click Share for assessment
8. You will receive an email to your Griffith Student inbox confirming that your submission has been accepted
9. If you go back to Pebble+ and click on the ‘i’ icon beside the I want to… button and scroll down, you’ll see a section called Shared for Assessment which will display the name of the workspace the asset has been shared to and when it was shared. If you’ve incorrectly submitted your asset, you can ask for it to be removed A) If this option does not appear, it’s likely because the submission has already been marked. You will need to contact your Course Convenor to request removal
