Successful institutions across the country are transitioning from a traditional education business model to a customer-centric approach. Our new ebook examines how it can improve both institutional results and the student experience.
The path to improved outcomes, engagement, and retention begins with immediate, equitable access to quality course materials. Impact studies show measurable increases in results, course success, and retention rates when students have access to course materials and can start actively engaging with them on or before the first day of class.
Research shows that early access to materials correlates with higher grades and completion rates. Through Pearson Inclusive Access, you can now offer your students digital access to their course materials by the first day of class, typically at much lower cost.
Students don’t want to spend hours searching for the lowest price course materials or lugging heavy books around. They want efficiency and access to their course materials anytime, day or night. Digital technologies are an important part of the solution.
Together, we have a once-in-a-generation chance to shape the future of learning, improve the tools instructors use to engage with students, and help every learner pursue an educational path that ultimately leads to opportunity and fulfillment.
Digital delivery of course materials can help lower costs, increase anytime/anywhere engagement, and offer all students an equitable start. Our new planning guide will help you think about what it will take for each of your key stakeholders — students, faculty, and technical and administrative staff — to make the transition.
Students today have more complex needs than ever before, often balancing competing demands like work, school, or family life — which leads to extra pressure.

Demand-driven education adapts to the needs of the learner and the employer. It responds to signals from society to ensure alignment between desired qualifications and available training. As the future of work unfolds, what makes us human is what will make us employable.
