  • Student Survey: Digital Learning Tools

    Understanding which aspects of a study resource students find most valuable is crucial for improving their interaction and engagement  with digital learning tools. We surveyed students from three universities in Sweden regarding their experiences.

  • Student Survey: MyLab Math and e-Textbook

    The survey was conducted at the Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden. 220 students gave answers to questions about their experiences with the Pearson platform MyLab Math used in their courses, and their use of print and e-textbooks.

  • What students say about Mastering A&P

    Each year, approximately 100 Biomedical Science students from the University of Essex’s School of Life Sciences incorporate Mastering A&P into their studies. Professor Sewa Alsam shared her experience with the platform in this story. 

    According to our survey, here’s what students have to say about Mastering A&P.

  • Increasing students’ Maths engagement with MyLab Math

    Samah Abu Siyam uses Pearson MyLab Math across various courses at Abu Dhabi University, UAE. MyLab Math is used to integrate real-life applications, tailor assessments and enhance student engagement and understanding, with a focus on saving time and providing effective, student-centred learning experiences. 

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!"

- Jannick Mikkelsen, student, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark (MyEconLab)

"[MyFinanceLab is] like a personal tutor laying the path toward your learning finance."

- Fredrik Hannfors, student, Stockholm School of Economics, Sweden (MyFinanceLab)

What educators say

"What really helped was that fact that [MasteringEngineering] was online, available 24/7. That really helped; students these days want to decide when they study. That's when we really saw our pass rates go up."

- Gillian Saunders, lecturer, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, using MasteringEngineering with Hibbeler: Statics (MasteringEngineering)

"The average mark is approximately 10% higher than it was previously. Furthermore, the failure rate has decreased significantly - from 32% to 5-14% in recent years."

- Marion Birch and Niels Walet, Manchester University (MasteringPhysics)

"Since I've been using it my pass rates have gone up - the first year I used the system it was quite striking."

- Carrie Rutherford, London South Bank University, UK (MyMathLab)

"Results show that these students performed on average 10% better on the final exam."

- Matthew Olczak, Aston University, UK (MyEconLab)

"The percentage of students who passed the course increased from 55% to 80%."

- Carrie Rutherford, London South Bank University, UK (MyMathLab)

"The number of low performers was lower than in the corresponding exams a year ago."
