Padlet is best described as an online noticeboard or digital canvas.

Padlet is typically used in education to facilitate collaborative activities for students, however it can also support independent study. Contributions are anonymous by default, encouraging student engagement.

This collection of Padlet guides has been carefully curated with the Warwick teaching community in mind. We hope you find it helpful.


Workshops and training

The Digital Learning Team offers Padlet workshops and training sessions throughout the academic year.

There is currently nothing scheduled, however please check our events calendar for future dates.
