Online testing
In the US we create bespoke educational assessment testing systems for states, large school districts and government organizations in the US.
We create tests, delivering them on paper and online, score the completed tests and report and analyse the results. Some of our biggest contracts include the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), states such as Texas, California and New York, and programmes such as the American Diploma Project for a consortium of nine states.
Biology.com
Pearson’s new high school Biology programme combines the experience of world-famous experts Miller & Levine with a digital path of real-life science video adventures created by a team of young scientists we call the “ecogeeks.”
Students experience what it's like to be a scientist exploring a tropical ecosystem in Hawaii, or analyzing the regenerative abilities of brittle stars at a Marine Research Station in Sweden. As author Joe Levine likes to say, ‘This is not your mother’s science documentary.’
NovaNET
Engaging all students can be a challenge when each pupil has different abilities and learning styles.
NovaNET is an online curriculum, assessment, student management and record-keeping system which is used in over 2,000 schools and institutions across the US. It is one of the best solutions available for improving the performance of low-achieving students. It helps schools increase graduation rates and reduce drop-out rates, challenge advanced students and provide personalised learning at a distance.
Digital Arts Workshop
In 2007, the Pearson Development Fund helped establish the new Educational Media Centre at the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa.
Together with representatives from Maskew Miller Longman, the Pearson Foundation hosted young girls from across Johannesburg for a digital arts workshop at the Media Centre. Caregivers associated with UNICEF’s Sara Communications initiative also attended the workshop.
