PebblePad Specific Terminology 

Pebble+ Terminology  Use / Definition 
Pebble+   Any user’s personal space where resources can be shared and assets created and existing assets are stored. Everything in Pebble+ is private by default, and users can choose what to share or submit for assessment. 
Assets  Any item you create in Pebble+, such as a personal copy of a resource shared with you or other digital artefacts.  They remain private until shared or submitted. 
Resources  Templates (workbooks or other structured learning tools) created by staff to guide students through activities, reflections, or assessments. Learners access these in Pebble+ once they have been shared in ATLAS. 
ATLAS Terminology  Use / Definition 
ATLAS  PebblePad’s management space, where you will find a collection of workspaces that you have access to. 
Workspace  Is the subject specific space created within ATLAS where settings are managed, assignments are created and resources are shared. 
Assignments  Are designated submission points within an ATLAS workspace where students submit their assets such as reflections, portfolios, or files. 
Submissions  The assets that students share from Pebble+ into an ATLAS workspace for assessment. 
Sets  Are groups created within an ATLAS workspace. They can be used to allocate specific staff or external assessors to a group of students.  Sets are commonly arranged by placement location.
