Rationale

Design Rationale

“After we worked with Pearson what we noticed is there is a much clearer structure and navigation for the learner to go through. Our course leader on the MSc in Events Management, which has been delivered online before, did actually say that working with Pearson allowed us to raise our game significantly.” -Edmund Hewson, Director Distance Learning, Leeds Beckett University
