Create a workbook is only visible under the menu on the left and not via Get Creative on your Dashboard.

This is because workbooks are mainly used by builders/teachers and less often by students.

You can start with adding your first page to the workbook. There are three options:

1. **New template page**: create a page from scratch
2. **Existing resource**: add an existing resource to this workbook
3. **Placeholder page**: a student can upload their asset

Keep in mind that if you add an existing resource in this workbook and edit it, these changes will also change in the original resource.

If you want to prevent this, you have to make a copy of an existing resource and then add it to your workbook.

Now you can create structure for your workbook. 

You can create multiple pages that are visible horizontally as tabs and you can create sub-pages for every tab.

To create a new tab, click the empty + icon

You can change the name by clicking on the wheel and then click on the name.

You can also remove the page here.

You can create a sub-page by clicking on the plus icon within the page tab.

Click on Convert to workbook.

Now you can add as many new items as you like by "Add a new item".

Make sure to Save your work often, because PebblePad does not have an auto-save.

When saving your workbook, you might be asked to give it a title, if you haven't done so.

When you click on Contents, you can see an overview of all the pages and sub-pages that are created within this Workbook.

By clicking on "Add content" you can add several fields to your workbook.

These fields are visible to the student and can be filled in. It is also possible to add assessor fields to a workbook that can be filled in by the assessor.

Under Popular you will find the fields that are most often used in a workbook.

Hints are the fields that you can use to give instructions and explanations. 

You can add text, images, videos, audios or embed content.

Ratings are fields that can be used for (self) assessment.

There are tree different rating fields:

- Binary (choose between two options)
- Likert (Likert scale with maximum 20 increment )
- Numeric (Numeric scale from 1 to max. 20)

You can change the settings and scales via properties.

You can add Table. A table can be used to have a student fill in information in a table form.

Note: this is not a rubric for assessment. A rubric can be found under Rubrics

You can add a Rubric block here.

Via properties you can change the format of the rubric.

Capabilities are blocks that come with an 'add evidence' element and have the advantage of enabling assessors to add comments and approvals to each capability element.

Capability blocks can only be filled in by the student. They cannot be used by an assessor. In contrary to Rating blocks, which can be assigned to both the student or the assessor (via block properties).

Finally there are a number of Advanced blocks.

**Digital signature:** this can be used for students that need their work or attendance to be signed off on location. They can show their device to their assessor who then can sign. The digital signature is only available for students to fill-in.

**Media picker:** Students can upload their own file or asset. If you let students hand in their work via the media picker, it cannot be assessed for plagiarism via Turnitin.

**Embed**: Let students embed a link to their workbook. Remember that if you as a designer want to embed something to the workbook, you have to go to Hints &gt; Embed.

If you click on "Properties" you can change settings of your workbook

You can change the properties for the whole workbook, for the template and for a specific block within a workbook.

You can decide whether a workbook can be used multiple times or is single use.

A reason for choosing single use is to prevent that a student has multiple versions of their workbook and loses track of the final version.

You can also enable Progress tracking. The student can mark their workbook page when completing their work.

It is also possible to select a featured banner image. This image will then be used automatically for every new banner that is added to this workbook

When you click on Template properties you can choose the category of this template.

If a student saves this workbook, it will then be saved as this specific category in their asset store.

You can choose when the current selected page is released. It can either be always displayed or released on a specific date or when a selected page is verified.

You can choose to lock the page upon verification. As soon as the assessor has verified this page, it will be locked so the student can no longer edit this page.

Here you can also reorder the current page.

Once your workbook is ready, you can share it with your students:

A Workbook is a binder that contains multiple template pages. Workbooks are mostly designed by UM staff and are used for assessment or reflection that runs over a longer period.

Workbooks can be designed very simple (a few pages) or very complex (multiple pages and subpages).
