The world of higher education is evolving, and is increasingly embracing both personal instruction and cutting-edge online, social and mobile technologies. As the global leader in education technology, content, services and support, Pearson Learning Solutions serves as a valuable partner in powering innovative technologies and content delivery methods which support online and blended learning environments. As a result, institutions of higher education are able to create blended and online learning programs that are more scalable, open, convenient and individualized to ensure greater student achievement than ever before.

Scalable Learning Management System
Whether your institution’s vision includes an expansion of online offerings, a need to support increasing enrollments or improve student retention, an innovative and efficient learning management system is needed for maximum engagement and measurable success for instructors and students alike. Pearson LearningStudio is a uniquely scalable learning management system that has integrated platform, tools, content and support necessary to implement successful online education programs. Pearson LearningStudio’s proven, Software-as-a-Service architecture delivers reliable, secure and continuous 24/7/365 access to online education.

Engaging Content that Ensures Measurable Outcomes for Students
An online learning program must increase student engagement, be fast and easy to implement and save instructors time. To this end, the 2010 SIIA CODiE Award-winning CourseConnect™ from Pearson Learning Solutions provides courses that are written for your students’ specific learning needs.

Utilization of Actionable Insights to Improve Teaching and Learning
Improving teaching and learning is the purpose of collecting student assessment data. Quality Student Learning Outcomes, rubrics, curriculum mapping, and student performance evaluation is just the beginning. The continuous improvement loop, which is a significant emphasis among accreditors, requires data-driven decisions to enhance curriculum and instruction. With Pearson LearningStudio, blended program reporting and data collecting is aggregated – meaning that you get filterable, compare/contrast student data and are able to create unique reports for accrediting bodies and programs administrators when you need it. In addition, to make online teaching and learning more effective, Pearson has created the MyLab and Mastering programs. These online resources not only deliver traditional textbook content; they offer outcomes based on self assessment, personalized study paths, customized teaching resources, and powerful results reporting.
