    MyMarketingExperience: adding a valuable teaching tool to the classroom

    MyMarketingExperience is an engaging simulation set in the jeanswear industry. It allows marketing students playing in teams to analyse the changing marketplace, set strategies for their company, take tactical actions and compete against each other in fun yet challenging settings.

    Ivana First Komen, an associate professor at the University of Rijeka, has utilised Pearson’s MyMarketingExperience within the Faculty of Economics and Business since 2017. She has been pleased with her experience, finding benefits for both herself and her students. She found that the quality of students’ observations and comments improved with the use of the simulation, and students gave the feedback that they learned more about the marketing process with the help of the simulation in comparison to classical courses.

    She also found that students:

    • Were motivated to spend a lot of time within the simulation and think about the interrelatedness of the decisions within and outside of the scope of marketing
    • Studied the market process in a fun, engaging way
    • Realised the importance of understanding target customers for overall business success

    The Conley Readiness Index at INTO Newcastle University

    INTO Newcastle University completed a study evaluating whether the Conley Readiness Index could act as a diagnostic tool in various student support and wellbeing scenarios. They found that the CRI added value, strengthened skills, built positivity and supported students moving forwards in their learning journey.

What students say

"We get set homework every week. For me the benefit of MyMathLab is actually working through the examples that we've been taught in class. That's how I learn maths."

- Llinos Owen, student, Engineering Maths, University of Liverpool, UK (MyMathLab)

"I just wanted to let you know how helpful the Mastering Biology is! It makes me study better, almost forces me to it! And it is a perfect combination between pictures, videos and text. It's genius!"

- Renee Bakkemo, student, University of Essex (MasteringBiology)

"It is like having a teacher by your side, you learn it a lot quicker than usual homework!"
