Your questions about Pearson+ answered

Pearson+ Channels BETA

Pearson+ Channels connects students with curated videos and practice questions organized by key course areas. Based on input from students and subject matter experts, the videos and practice questions come from Pearson, YouTube, and additional vetted sources. Channels content is verified for relevancy by subject matter experts.

Channels feature is currently in BETA testing. This pilot version of Channels contains most of the major features, but is not fully complete or accessible. Additional changes to content and design may happen as a result of testing and feedback completed in this phase.

What course areas or topics are offered within Pearson+ Channels?

Pearson+ Channels are a collection of expert-picked videos and practice questions to help students understand concepts in various courses and topics. It is available as a supplementary study tool for students, and as a complimentary study tool within Pearson courseware such as Pearson+ and Pearson eTexts in My Lab and Mastering. Pearson+ Channels will continue to grow in course and topical coverage in 2022 and beyond!

Will MyLab and Mastering practice problems be repeated in Channels?

Channels are designed to give students access to resources that can help them learn difficult concepts and dive deeper into key course topics. With thousands of practice problems in MyLab and Mastering, there’s a chance that some content could be repeated in a Pearson+ Channels assessment item.

How will study engagement be monitored?

We’ll use administrative and moderation tools to monitor engagement and summarize the data to help us understand how students are using Channels content. To respect privacy, the data we gather will not include students’ names. At this time, the sharing of learning insights with faculty is not available.

How can I access and experience Pearson+ Channels?

The Channels feature is available within Pearson+. As a Pearson user, you can access Pearson+ in a few ways:

  1. With a subscription to MyLab and Mastering with eText, users can access their Pearson eText from within a course and enter the Pearson+ environment, which includes Channels.
  2. By logging in to Pearson+ via the Pearson+ app or at PearsonPlus.com.

If you don’t have a Pearson+ subscription or need access to additional eTexts, contact your Pearson Representative to request a complimentary digital desk copy, or you can request one here.

Is this feature ADA Compliant?

Our aim is to be ADA compliant. We’re working on improving accessibility within Pearson+ eTexts. Learn about:

Pearson+ social BETA

What is the social feature in Pearson+?

Pearson+ social expands the way students learn, from an individual experience to a social one. Students can see who else is studying, start discussions and post links and videos.

The social experience will work across faculties and schools around the globe. All students and faculty members that use an eText title will be able to see the socialexperience. The experience is not limited to students in a certain class at a specific university. What’s coming next

  • Students will be able to share notes, summaries and flashcards
  • User groups and permissions for viewing

How will Pearson monitor this feature?

The social experience will be monitored and moderated by a subject matter expert. Every post, comment and link will be reviewed, verified and approved before being published on the platform. We’ve created community guidelines that everyone needs to follow. Any violations may lead to content getting removed and/or access getting terminated.

Read the community guidelines

Is this feature ADA compliant?

Our aim is to be AA compliant. We’re working on improving accessibility within Pearson+ eTexts.

What research was done?

In user research with students, the top request was to have a way to discuss problems and concepts with others. In interviews instructors have mentioned the positives of students having a community to allow open discussions and to encourage students’ engagement with content.

What eTexts are available with the social feature?

We’re starting off with one title, Microeconomics 3rd edition, Daron Acemoglu, David Laibson, John List in Pearson+ and MyLab and Mastering. We’ll be monitoring the benefits of the experience and plan to add more titles. When new titles become available, we’ll add a note in the Product description.

How do I get access?

If you have access to the title through Mastering, you’ll have the same experience as students. Or, you can access the title with a Pearson+ subscription.
