What is an e-portfolio?
An e-portfolio system enables you to organise and present different collections
of evidence online. It provides evidence of your achievements and progress.
You personally manage your e-portfolio and you can decide to share selected
assets with tutors, module leaders, colleagues or even friends external to the
institution.
PebblePad is the name of the e-portfolio system being used at City University.
PebblePad supports your Personal Development Planning by providing you with
a flexible way to plan, record and reflect on your learning and development.
Task
In groups of 5 spend 5 minutes discussing what
you could put into your e-portfolio.
Prepare to give feedback to the group on one
item selected.
Why use e-portfolios?
Why use PebblePad?

experience.
To keep a record of your learning by recording learning experiences and
new skills and achievements gained through work, education,
volunteering, hobbies and interests.
To demonstrate the growth of your knowledge and skills and to showcase
your achievements.
To engage in a dialogue with your tutor to help develop your
understanding of issues and concepts.
What’s in it for you!
An online portfolio is accessible from different locations.
An online portfolio is adaptable to other needs ..it can remain
‘live’ longer than a paper copy. You will get a free PebblePad
account for a year after you graduate.
You can share parts of your e-portfolio to get feedback from
your tutors/module leaders.
What's in it for you!
With an e-portfolio you can use multi-media elements.
You can re-use different parts of your e-portfolio for
different purposes.

professional development this is just getting you into
practice for this.
