Around the world instructors use Mastering A&P to help students succeed
At University of Texas, USA two instructors used Mastering A&P to support their students in different ways. One instructor set graded homework assignments, along with Dynamic Study Modules and Adaptive Follow-Ups, to develop students’ study skills and provide learning opportunities outside of class. They saw an increase in exam averages and course success rates.
The other instructor chose to use the quizzing tools to help learners track their understanding
The second instructor’s students said:
“I like Mastering because it helped me realize what I needed to study and tested me to see if I really understood what I had learned.”
“I like how it helps me practice the material and shows me what I need to study more.”
“I found the Dynamic Study Modules to be the most useful resource for studying.”
“The Dynamic Study Modules helped me study by giving me explanations on the questions I get wrong.”
Faced with the unfolding challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, GUST instructors wanted to ensure that over 117,000 combined Math and English Language students continued to get a consistently high-quality learning experience. As the crisis has eased, they’ve used the Pearson digital tools they adopted to enhance the university’s blended educational offering.
Faced with the unfolding challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, GUST instructors wanted to ensure that over 117,000 combined Math and English Language students continued to get a consistently high-quality learning experience. As the crisis has eased, they’ve used the Pearson digital tools they adopted to enhance the university’s blended educational offering.
In 2020, GUST’s Math and English Foundation Program teams were tasked with keeping learners engaged during the lockdown, ensuring none fell behind and that all teaching plans were maintained. Using Microsoft Teams to regularly ‘meet’, and liaising with their dedicated Pearson representative, they explored how course eBooks could work alongside online resources including MyLab Math, Learning Catalytics and Active Quiz in Moodle.
Training both faculty and students to access and use the resources in new ways (in a very short time frame) was a priority, as was motivating students to accept virtual office hours. Pearson offered advice on delivering assessments and how to support students who felt they needed more than just video lectures for their learning needs.
The ability to work effectively and safely from their own homes benefited all parties and the asynchronous model meant teaching and learning could happen at times to suit individuals, in an engaging way. Everyone adapted quickly to trying out new learning styles.
Working together across departments to meet the challenges of a rapidly unfolding global crisis has brought far-ranging benefits to GUST and its teaching staff. The Math and English Foundation Units shared their growing knowledge of tech solutions for teaching and assessing their students’ development and, with Pearson support, gained confidence in synchronous and asynchronous online teaching methods that they’ll apply well into the future. Students benefited from flexible learning opportunities and the simplicity of using digital resources to interact in team activities and ‘classroom’ discussions remotely but in real-time.
“We believe this framework can be used by other educators, institutions and universities who would like to transition from the traditional model to a virtual model. In fact, this could possibly be integrated into your existing model for a better teaching and learning experience.”
Milena Baeff, Math Foundation Unit, GUST
GUST recommends other universities take advantage of Pearson’s experience and breadth of services, collaborate with other faculty teams remotely – even across time zones – and create blended learning experiences that will be better for teaching staff and students now and into the future.

Instructors see consistent outcomes across course formats with MyLab Marketing
Ohio State University, USA instructors saw a positive correlation between MyLab Marketing assignment scores and MyLab quiz scores for the hybrid (blended) and online cohorts on their marketing course. Through MyLab, students in both formats get the same course experience – earning similar homework, quiz, exam and final course grades across both course formats. In a student survey, 87% agreed that simulation assignments helped them develop important critical thinking and decision-making skills.
Average Course Assignment and Assessment Scores for Online (n=316) and Hybrid (n=249) Sections, Fall 2018 are shown in this table:
