PebblePad - the Personal Learning Space, used in colleges, universities and professional bodies; by learners, teachers and assessors. Our award-winning technology helps our users experience better ways to use learning technology to develop and evidence the skills needed to excel in today's competitive world.
Excellent piece pulling together theories, making them understandable and relating them to current practice and people.

Equally important are those technologies that provide a context for these learning episodes, an environment where students interact and converse among themselves.
