These instructions are for adding a PebblePad resource link directly in LEARN. This method takes users directly to the resource without having to search for it in Pebble+.

Note: To be able to add a PebblePad resource directly to LEARN you must have already requested PebblePad is enabled in your course.

If you have not requested PebblePad to be added to your course yet,

please contact klithgow@uwaterloo.ca to determine if PebblePad is the right tool for the work to be done.

Note: A resource with special characters in the title may produce an error that prevents users from accessing the resource.

If you encounter an error please try renaming the file.

If the issue persists, contact learnhelp@uwaterloo.ca for further investigation and assistance.

Step-by-step guide

  1. To add a resource directly to your LEARN course you must begin by creating a content module where you would like to add the resource. Once you have created the content module you will need to ensure you are in the module then click the “Upload/Create” button and choose the “Create a File” option.

  2. Once the new window opens you will be required to add a title to the file. In the content area, click the “Insert stuff” button.

  3. Once the insert stuff window opens select the “PebblePad Resources” option.

  4. Once the PebblePad resources window opens you should be able to see the resources you own. Click the “Select Resource” button to the right of the resource you want to add to LEARN.

  5. You will then see a link to the resource in the content area. The title of the selected resource will match the title you see in Pebble+. Click “Insert” to add the resource to the page.

  6. If there are no further changes you would like to make or additional content to add, click the “Save” or “Save and Close” button.

  7. If you are adding more than one PebblePad resource to a file, follow the same steps selecting the additional resources as required. Additional resources can also be added to separate content topics. This would be particularly useful if you would like to restrict PebblePad resources to members of a specific group in LEARN.

 

Note: Resources cannot be restricted to a groups/sets in PebblePad but they can be hidden from all users in a workspace by hiding the resource panel it was added to.
