For staff who are asking students to share their work with external assessors in placement situations using PebblePad, please see a link to a PebblePad help document below, which you can share with your students.
PebblePad External Assessor Shares
This includes guidance about how to share with an external assessor and also how they can check or adjust their PebblePad asset shares once they have been made.
Please could you remind students of the importance of sharing correctly when using PebblePad. This will improve not just the experience for the student, but also the external assessor who is attempting to sign off the student’s work.
Students should remember to do the following when sharing:
- Enter the correct name and type the email address accurately when they are sharing their workbooks.
- Always choose the option WITH AN EXTERNAL ASSESSOR if they are expecting the assessor to sign off any sections within the practice assessment document.
- Add a deadline / ‘expiry date’ for the share which provides sufficient time for the assessor to sign off all of the student’s work.
No other share type will allow an assessor to sign off sections within a workbook, and students must share their whole asset, not just a small section, with their External assessor.
