Higher education blog

So you have all the materials you would normally use on-campus, but are now moving to online teaching only in the space of a couple of weeks, or maybe even days. 

We continue our series of blog supporting educators with moving to online teaching by considering how you can encourage your learners to engage online. 

In the past couple of blogs, we focused on getting started with moving your teaching from campus to online delivery.

In light of the current situation, you may be poised to cease campus teaching and look at ways to support students remotely.

In light of recent global events due to COVID-19, you are likely to be moving to online delivery methods in the coming weeks and you may not know for how long.

In this blog series, we will share advice and guidance on a wide range of subjects related to delivering HE courses online, including more detailed guides to online communication, online teaching presence, delivering live sessions and collaborative working online.

Authentic assessment in Higher Education is widely discussed and examined in literature but what does it mean and what factors need to exist for it to work well?

Employability, and how to prepare students for the world of work, was discussed at the latest Pearson HE Co-Lab Network event.

What is clear is that there is no silver bullet to solving the retention problem.

Instead, there are a myriad of solutions that can help universities to track, understand and intervene in a student’s journey.

How can lecturers use AI to tackle some of the big educational challenges?

This was just one of the questions posed at the Chartered Association of Business Schools event in Manchester. Pearson sponsored and attended the event, hearing about developments in AI, inclusion and student engagement as well as running workshops.
