Pearson offers MyPedia access to learners for free during lockdown
Reggie Mokotsi, executive head of Learning Resources at Pearson South Africa said, “As South Africans, we are all in this fight to flatten the curve together. We need to create solutions that will ensure learning continues, even if it can’t happen in a face-to-face setting.
According to Mokotsi, MyPedia is not simply one product, but an entire school academic partnership programme. It improves students' cognitive skills by continuously partnering with everyone involved in the learning process including teachers, school leaders, parents, and most importantly, the students.
“MyPedia is just one way that Pearson continues to deliver on its promise to incorporate a global education experience and propel effective technology-enabled learning in South Africa at a time where we need it most,” said Mokotsi.
Through MyPedia, learners are directly connected to their curriculum through short 2-3 minute videos and practice books. Activities are related to content that was covered in Term 1 and concepts that will be covered in Term 2. Once watched and absorbed, the videos provide learners with some tips on how to practice home-based learning.
MyPedia services and features include:
- Access to MyPedia HomeApp and Web Portal till 31 May 2020
- Digital content – Videos, Interactives, Practice Books
- Completing Assignments
- Engaging in Discussions
- Tracking Progress
- Customer Support via App Help
