The workspace manager can set-up an ATLAS assignment to integrate with a Moodle course and provide learners access to Pebble+ tools and templates to use.

About PebblePad and Moodle

When a PebblePad assignment is incorporated into a Moodle course, it provides:

• learners - access to Pebble+ creative tools and workbooks and templates.
• assessors - access to ATLAS assessment tools.

When the two platforms are connected at a local level, Moodle course to ATLAS workspace, it sets-up:

• Single Sign-On - direct access from Moodle into PebblePad.
• enrolments - students/members, instructors/managers.
• groups - into workspace sets.
• grade sync - push from the workspace into course grade centre.

The Moodle course roster will synchronise to the ATLAS workspace with these roles:

Role recognition

When the assignment link is clicked by a Student (learner) in Moodle, it can either:

• Open Pebble+ onto the dashboard, or,
• Open Pebble+ and directly into a selected template or workbook, or,
• Open Pebble+, directing into a selected template or workbook, with auto submit enabled.

When the assignment link is clicked by an Instructor (assessor/manager) in Moodle, it 

• Opens ATLAS into the workspace.

At minimum, you will need to be a region creator to set-up a Moodle-linked assignment. Contact your platform administrator for assistance.
