Pearson Releases Learner Design Principles under Creative Commons Open License

Building products that help learners starts with research—knowing how they learn and what works to help them along their journey. Called learning design, experts take research from the learning sciences and apply it to product and user experience design. Pearson synthesized current research from both the learning sciences and user experience into our Learning Design Principles. Each research-based principle has been vetted by a range of stakeholders across Pearson — and in some cases, subject matter experts outside of Pearson — and is tailored for direct application in product and feature development. Pearson is publishing a summary of their research under a Creative Commons license to share how what they know about learning is being applied to user design. https://www.pearson.com/efficacy-and-research/our-methods/learning-design-principles.html
