Padlet: Staff Guides

Padlet is the University of Leeds institutional collaborative learning tool. Similar to a digital noticeboard, Padlets can be shared easily for others to contribute and/or refer to.

The University of Leeds has it's own login address for Padlet. Once you have created an account, you should use this to access Padlet: https://universityofleeds.padlet.org/. If you navigate to padlet.com you will not be re-directed to the university domain and will not benefit from the features available within the university domain.

You don't need to create an account to contribute or view an existing Padlet but will need an account to create your own. If you are looking for specific guidance on how to use Padlet, don't forget you can search this site. You may also find the A to Z of Padlet guides on this site helpful.
