Digital Learning Workshops

Padlet is a virtual pinboard or online post-it board with a unique URL. The interface is straightforward, with customisable layouts, and backgrounds, plus some nice features to increase learner engagement. As well as learners being able to upload a range of media (text, video, audio etc) they can also comment on other posts. There are customisable settings which mean participants can upvote, like, or even give a score for other posts. You can choose whether to moderate posts before they are published, allow participants to post anonymously, and there’s a profanity filter (if required). It is also possible to set privacy levels for boards and assign moderators if you think it’s necessary.

With a free Padlet account, you can create up to 3 walls. You can download your walls in a variety of formats after using them with learners, meaning that you could recycle the walls for different cohorts.
