Pebble | Evidence employability skills through real-world projects

Students and a professional collaborator work around laptops and a small wheeled robot in a bright campus space, reflecting project-based learning, teamwork, digital skills and real-world problem-solving.

Real-world experience.

Built into education.

Pebble helps colleges and universities embed and scale
real-world learning without adding more to the curriculum

Less administration. Lower costs. Better decisions.

Three-panel illustration showing how Pebble supports real-world learning. An external partner discusses a project with students, a lecturer guides students working together, and the Pebble dashboard displays project evaluations and skills development. The external partner drives the challenge, the lecturer facilitates learning, and Pebble structures and evidences the journey.

Built by an educator. For education.

Founded by a lecturer and course coordinator with over 25 years' experience in further and higher education, Pebble continues to be developed alongside active teaching practice, with a firsthand understanding of the everyday challenges of delivering real-world learning, engaging employers
and reducing administrative workload.

What We Deliver
Real-world learning. Institution-wide impact.
Pebble brings together curriculum delivery, employer engagement, employability skills and learning analytics within one structured platform.
Real-World Learning
Embed authentic projects into existing programmes and academic outcomes.
Employer Engagement
Connect students with industry and community partners through structured collaboration.
Employability Skills
Develop and evidence essential human skills through practical experience.
Learning Analytics
Centralise evidence, automate reporting and deliver institution-wide insights saving staff time and resources.

Embed real projects into the curriculum. Not on top of it

Real-world projects shouldn't create extra work. With Pebble, teaching staff can select projects
that align with existing learning outcomes, while external partners contribute authentic briefs,
feedback and professional critique. Students develop their skills through the experience,
and educators facilitate learning rather than managing every stage themselves.

Evidence employability skills. Measure educational gain.

Pebble tracks employability skills and measures educational gain over time, providing evidence of student development through authentic learning experiences.

Four Pebble features: Learning Analytics tracks skills, feedback and progress; Educational Gain evidences development over time; Employer Engagement shows external partner contributions; Agile Quality Reporting provides evidence when needed.

Four Pebble feature cards with blue icons and text: 1) document, chat and people icon: “Project activity, skills and feedback from students, partners and employers.” 2) database and cloud icon: “Project activity, skills and feedback in one place.” 3) AI document icon: “Export structured data for Microsoft Copilot and AI-assisted reporting.” 4) people icon: “Supporting Teaching, Quality, Careers, Marketing, Employer Engagement and Leadership.”

Turn real experience into meaningful evidence.

Pebble centralises project activity, evaluations, skills development and employer engagement, reducing duplicated administration, streamlining reporting and providing meaningful institution-wide insights.

Less administration. Better insights. More efficient use of resources

As AI takes on more tasks,
human skills matter more than ever.
Actual Intelligence supported by Artificial Intelligence ®

Pebble captures real human activity, feedback and evaluation through
authentic Project-Based, Work-Based and Work-Integrated Learning.

By centralising evidence, automating administrative processes and turning data into actionable insights, Pebble makes employability skills and educational gain visible and measurable.

Centralisation: Less fragmented information across departments, campuses and institutions.

Learning analytics: Evidence of skills development and educational gain at institutional and regional levels.

AI-ready reporting: Structured, human-generated evidence that can be exported for further analysis.
