Prototype and feedback iteration - Building PebblePad workbooks using AI

Megan Duffy, PebblePad

SESSION TITLE: Prototype and feedback iteration - Building PebblePad workbooks using AI

DESCRIPTION:

PebblePad is a trusted ePortfolio and learning platform designed to support meaningful, learner-centred experiences. As generative AI continues to shape the future of education, we’re excited to share how PebblePad is embracing this change by taking a thoughtful, research-based approach to innovation.

We start by listening to our customers to understanding what institutions, students, and the wider sector truly need to succeed. From there, we work closely with them to co-create wireframes and prototypes, ensuring every idea is tested and refined with real-world feedback. This ongoing dialogue helps us build features that are not only intuitive and effective but also aligned with today’s pedagogical priorities.

In this session, we’ll showcase how we’re using AI to enhance the PebblePad experience. You’ll get a glimpse of a new AI-enabled workbook builder tool currently in development and see how our unique process fosters genuine collaboration to improve usability, boost efficiency, and strengthen our role as the platform that supports the entire learning journey.
