Passionate about education and the student learning journey. Works at PebblePad, the only integrated ePortfolio, workbook and assessment platform designed for the ambitions of higher education. #HigherEd
Really enjoying #MiniBash25 today – there’s such a brilliant buzz in the room. Justin Riley opened the day with how PebblePad is evolving to meet changing customer needs and the realities of today’s higher education landscape. Customer insights already giving me plenty to reflect on in my own work.
