Reflect on how graduating students interact with the free Alumni account provided by PebblePad and explore ways to enhance its effectiveness.
In this use case featured at PebbleBash 2024, PebblePad’s Learning Support Specialist Dr Jennifer Masters investigates PebblePad Alumni account sign ups during the last decade in Australia as well as usage patterns once an account has been established. Her findings reveal why it is important to:
- Promote the advantages of an Alumni account in helping students preserve evidence of their learning as they transition from university to a profession.
- Encourage graduating students to continue to use their Alumni account to evidence and showcase lifelong professional learning.
- Understand what technical and comms issues are impacting on the setting up of an Alumni account that could lead to students ‘giving up’ on the sign-up process.
- Share best practices for better promoting Alumni account benefits to help attract Alumnistudents as well as analysing any issues with PebblePad’s own approach.
Ultimately, the use case highlights how addressing roadblocks could deliver higher sign-up rates that will lead to improved outcomes for graduates as they retain evidence of their learning and continue to use PebblePad throughout their careers.
