The learning science behind Pearson MyLab IT

Pearson’s strategy for empowering learners starts with a deep understanding of the learning sciences: diverse, transdisciplinary fields that seek to understand how humans learn.

Using insights distilled from the learning sciences, we’ve arrived at a series of learning design principles that guide the creation of our products. These tenets have shaped the design of Pearson MyLab IT — and they drive us as we continue to refine Pearson MyLab IT in order to deliver even better learning outcomes.

Pearson MyLab IT demonstrates two key learning design principles:

• Enabling practice in authentic contexts
• Reducing extraneous cognitive load
