About Us
Pearson Learning Solutions is proud to launch a website site featuring top educators and students from across the country. This initiative focuses on supporting student and faculty achievement and addressing key barriers to successful academic experiences by bringing together faculty, students and leaders in the education community to to tell their stories.
We recognize that students face a variety of barriers to academic success, whether it’s dealing with newfound freedom and time management issues, financial struggles, or lack of preparedness for higher education. Faculty face challenges as well. Some might include finding course materials that are affordable to students, keeping course materials current and engaging, assessing student outcomes and keeping abreast of the latest developments in educational technology. Some faculty may be coping with the challenge of transitioning courses from face to face into blended or online environments.
Bringing together an experienced and vocal group of dedicated leaders in higher education and incorporating the student perspective allows us to listen and respond to the discussion around these vital issues and create the best-in-class solutions to advance successful academic experiences.
This website serves as a place for educators and students to share initiatives and research that are committed to ensuring successful academic experiences. The advocates blog provides visitors with timely stories and opinions from administrators, faculty, students and other leaders in education on successful academic experiences in higher education. In addition, site visitors are invited to comment on the posts and contribute their perspective on the issues. This site provides a place for educators and students to share their strategies, and to learn from others about what is working for them.
