This page contains instructions on how to add a PebblePad link into your Blackboard Ultra module site, and create a Workspace in PebblePad ATLAS.

An ATLAS workspace is the assessment area where you will receive PebblePad submissions, and leave feedback and grades on students' works, as well as manage settings and enrolments.

Setting this up via Blackboard will ensure the following:

• All staff and student enrolments will be brought across from the Blackboard site
• Groups set up in Blackboard will be reflected in PebblePad
• Grades (if marked in PebblePad) will return to the Gradebook in Blackboard.

Important note. You will not have the permissions to undertake the following steps unless you have been set up with a 'Creator' role in PebblePad. Please contact the Digital Learning Team to arrange initial training and support.
