Creating a workbook for assessments You will need to create a workbook at the beginning of the year. 1. The first time you do this you will need to go to “Tools and Resources” and select “Resource Centre”.

3. An auto-submit message box will appear as shown on the next page. This means that you do not have to submit your work – it has been done for you. 2. This will bring up the window on the next page. Select the “For Me” option across the top of the resources box. Then click on the “Workbooks” option on the left hand side of the resources box. Click on the workbook that you need for your module i.e. Capability 1,2,3 or 4 depenidng on your year. Then click on the “Use” button at the bottom of the resource box.

This allows you to add to the workbook throughout your course without having to worry about submitting it. It also means whenever you save the workbook, the changes can be seen straight away by your Tutor until the deadline date / time. Click Continue.

Pebble+ User Guide 5. Ensure that you save any changes you make each time you use the workbook.

4. The workbook will open for you to use. Add evidence either by completing the fields in the templates or by adding assets you have created in PebblePad during the course. Everything you want to submit must be added to the workbook for your Tutor to see.

If you have any problems with auto-submission follow steps 7-9 otherwise continue to step 10. 6. At this stage only you can see the workbook so you will need to submit to Atlas so that your tutor can see the form and add their comments. This is done by clicking on the letter in the top left hand corner of the asset (in this case a “bk”). A drop down menu will appear and you should select “Submit”.
