What was said
- “[Before PebblePad, we had] really long scrolled Word docs that were very hard for students to navigate … Now it is more accessible, more readable … easier for not only the students, but for the instructors to see what they’ve done and what feedback they could give.”
Susan Bonham, Langara College - “The new assignment energised me when grading. It was easy to see students’ reasoning and refreshing to see their creative spirit.”
Instructor feedback shared by Kelly Wheatley, The Ohio State University - “Reflection is just a confidence building tool … When students take that time to connect their work with the course objectives … it’s huge when they can see their own growth.”
