Pearson Releases a Significant Learning Design Aid

By Michael Feldstein. Posted on December 18, 2016

In my view, the work itself is a significant contribution. It also is a positive indicator about Pearson’s future direction as a participant in and influencer of that community, although how strong an indicator is a much harder question to evaluate.
