PebblePAD is the name of the ePortfolio program currently supported within UTAS by Information Technology Resources [ITR] and the Centre for the Advancement of Learning Technology [CALT]. It can be used individually or collaboratively for gathering a portfolio of evidence (known as Assets) containing coursework, thoughts/ideas, experiences and achievements for sharing with individuals or groups inside or outside of UTAS. test edit

A user may use the account during the staff/student career at UTAS. After this time, the user has one year to transfer their assets to personal (non-UTAS) account. Accounts that are not migrated will not be maintained by UTAS after this time.

Support test edit

For teaching and learning support contact e.portfolio@utas.edu.au.

For technical/system support contact Service Desk, T: +61 3 6226 1818, service.desk@utas.edu.au.

All requests for staff, non-UTAS staff or student accounts and gateways will be dealt with as requests are made. To avoid unnecessary delays with account applications it would be beneficial to supply registration information at least two weeks before accounts/Gateways are required. A guide on request estimated timelines is outlined below.

  • Password reset: 1 working day
  • Staff, Non-UTAS staff or student account creation: 2-3 working days
  • Gateway creation: 2-3 working days
  • Account and Gateway creation: 2-5 working days

Once a user account is created, the user will receive a message to their UTAS email giving the link to the externally hosted website, username and initial password. A request to change the initial password will be made on system entry.

A user may request that the account password is reset by Service Desk if it is forgotten. The password is not directly linked into UTAS systems and will not be updated through the password sync process.

Note: It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that access to the system and system Gateways is granted. Untimely requests for access cannot guarantee system entry to submit assignments, etc.
