Facilitator: Katherine Lithgow (Centre for Teaching Excellence)

Location: MC 2036

Description

Presenter: Patrick Viney, Senior Learning Technology Advisor

Patrick  will discuss how Northumbria University has successfully implemented PebblePad to manage its dissertation process. Each year, over 800 students undertake the Newcastle Business School dissertation module supported by over 100 academic staff. Patrick will talk about how the implementation of structured Workbooks has simplified the process for students and how reporting in PebblePad's assessment space (ATLAS) has provided a management overview of progress. The presentation will also include feedback from supervisors and tutors on the added value PebblePad has provided to this important process.
