Padlet is a website that makes it easy to create an online bulletin board for instructors and students to share text and pictures in a variety of formats.
Instructors can create a Padlet at https://swarthmorecollege.padlet.org/ and then share a link to the Padlet within Moodle to give all enroll students access.
After creating the Padlet, follow the instructions below to add to Moodle.
- Within Padlet, click on Share (top right) → "Add to your LMS as an external tool".
- Copy the content of the "Custom parameters" section
- In Moodle, add a new "External Tool" activity, give it a name (e.g. "Padlet"), and select the Padlet pre-configured tool.
- Paste the copied text into the "Custom Parameters" section of the Moodle External tool configuration.
- Save the Moodle activity
The result is a link in Moodle to the Padlet.
