AI’s Potential to Transform Education
With the pervasive “AI buzz” in the world, it can be hard to discern the substance from the AI public relations. In education, we are seeing substantive applications for automated grading, autonomous learning, learning nudges for marginalized groups, and teaching assistants amongst many others. This group will discuss the potential and perils for AI in education.

The evolving adult-learning landscape: where is post-secondary education headed and what are the factors driving it there?
This panel from across ed tech, academia, government, and the private sector will explore the future of the post-secondary education ecosystem including models, technologies, and impact. They’ll examine how the needs of learners, employers, and civic leaders will increasingly require changes to the fabric of adult education. And, they’ll consider how this drives the evolution of the traditional higher education institution, the acceleration of self-directed learning, and the role of education companies in helping them do so.

One size doesn’t fit all
The individuals in your institution’s target audience aren’t just “students”. They have unique wants, needs, and expectations for instruction, campus amenities, and technology. A mass, “one-size-fits-all approach” is no longer enough.

Empowering students to prepare for life after college

The very real world of a K-12 online school
In order to deliver full-time online school, every aspect of the student experience has to be constructed with one thought in mind -- "how do we help learners make the connections needed for success?" From the cutting-edge software platform and dynamic online content, to the protocols for specially trained instructors and support teams, and social opportunities like virtual clubs and real-world field trips, the K-12 full-time online school presents an entirely new learning environment for students.
The outcomes that matter most don’t happen by accident … they happen by design
Pearson’s mission is to help people make progress in their lives through learning. But helping people to achieve the learning outcomes that matter most in life, like new knowledge and skills to support progression into further or higher education, or in a career, isn’t something that happens by accident. It happens by design.
Maybe it’s time for your own virtual school

Nevertheless
This series, produced with Storythings, celebrates women both inside and outside of Pearson who are using technology to transform teaching and learning and improve outcomes for students.
Helping more learners, learn more
In 2013, Pearson made a commitment to efficacy: to identify the outcomes that matter most to students and educators, and apply evidence-based approaches to product design and development so we could have a greater impact on improving those outcomes.
A key part of that commitment was to publish, by 2018, audited research regarding the impact of the use of our products on outcomes. We invite you to explore our first set of efficacy reports that have been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.
The future of skills: Employment in 2030
By 2030 the population of the US and the UK will be older. Emerging technologies like the Internet Of Things or 3D printing may have revolutionised supply chains and manufacturing, and more of us are predicted to live and work in cities.
Trends such as these have implications for the jobs, and skills, that will be in demand in 2030. The twin aims of this project, a partnership between Pearson, Nesta and Michael Osborne of the Oxford Martin School, is to generate quantified predictions of this future, and then to ask what that implies for learning.
