Feedback can be archived to help students build a long-term picture of their academic development.
PebblePad works on any device, desktop or mobile, and even supports offline working. Use the PebblePocket app to record experiences both on and offline.
PebblePad is free to all Duke students, faculty, and staff. Free alumni accounts give students access to their portfolios after they graduate.
