Using PebblePad+ to Promote Teaching,Learning,and Assessment in a Business School

Abstract

The focus for this article is on the use of information and communications technology to facilitate the teaching of business and management through an e-portfolio diary/journal system. PebblePad+ is a transferable e-portfolio system that enables students to track their own professional competences and development over the length of their academic and professional career, as well as supporting their wider learning. This article will be of particular interest to those educationalists that recognize the importance of reflection in building powerful cognitive structures, as well as the potential benefits of using information and communication technology to create an e-portfolio of a student’s academic and professional achievements.
