The Padlet pinboard allows staff and students to collaborate inside or outside of live teaching sessions, to collate and share information on a digital wall, post comments and rate\/react to posts. You can see examples via the Padlet website gallery.\u00a0 Your lecturer will be able to let you know if Padlet will be used during your module.\u00a0 \u00a0 How do I access Padlet?\u00a0 There are several ways to join a Padlet board, most commonly via:\u00a0 Blackboard \u2013 your lecturer may share a Padlet link or embed a Padlet into your Blackboard course.
