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.
