Adding & Sharing With External Assessors - Guide

PebblePad account for my External

If your external does not have a PebblePad account please click here to request an account for them.

We can then create a PebblePad account for them on the University of Huddersfield PebblePad.

If they say they already have an account check they have an account with the University and not a different organisation. PebblePad logins are organisation specific. If they do not already have an account with the University please complete the form to request access for them.

If you encounter any issues please contact LTA@hud.ac.uk for support.

Giving Externals access to your Portfolio – How to Share (Desktop View)

Before you give your external access to your portfolio please ensure you read the BE AWARE section below. Steps on how to share with your external are found underneath this caution.

BE AWARE You only need to share your portfolio once with your external. Once you have shared your portfolio with your external you do not need to do it again and you do not need to share individual assets/documents with them. The portfolio is their one stop shop to access all your work.

Academics do not need your work sharing with them they should already have access. If they don’t please get them to contact LTA@hud.ac.uk.

If PebblePad requires you to upload documents/assets or create documents/assets please follow the instructions on the page to ensure externals can access them. Do not share the assets with externals or academics or to ATLAS. Externals can access them by logging into PebblePad and navigating to the necessary page where your work should be visible.

To share your Portfolio, follow these steps:

1.   Once logged in click Resources underneath your name and open your Portfolio

2.   Click I want to… in the top right of the screen

(If you are on a mobile device click the i icon and then click I want to…)

3.   Click Share

4.   Click With an external assessor

(If you do not have this option please ensure you have saved your work for the first time. Once you have saved the option will become available.

If the issue persists please contact LTA@hud.ac.uk as you will only get incorrect options to share which can cause confusion and technical complications if shared an incorrect way)

5.   Type in external assessor’s email address

6.   Press Enter or click the search icon to add the external. If it works their name and email will appear beneath the search bar.

If you get the message "No external user was found with that email address" (pic below) when you try and add your external, check the email address is correct and spelt correctly.

If it is spelt correctly and still cannot be found, contact LTA@hud.ac.uk and provide your externals first and last name and their email address, Cc them into the email and we can then create a UoH PebblePad account for them.

If they say they already have an account check they have an account with the University and not a different organization. PebblePad logins are organization specific. If they do already have an account with the University contact LTA@hud.ac.uk, provide your externals first and last name and their email address and Cc them into the email and we can add them to your workspace.

Please ensure you do not enter a Share expiry date

7.   Scroll down and click Share asset

8.   Your external will receive an email from noreply@pebblelearning.co.uk stating you have now shared your portfolio with them. Please ensure that when they access your portfolio they do not rely on this email and they must login to PebblePad and click on the portfolio they can see with your name and ASSESSMENT underneath.
