Please join Pearson and LearnLaunch on March 22nd for a panel discussion on building efficacy in learning technologies. During this session, we’ll discuss the first paper in the Pearson | SRI Series on Building Efficacy in Learning Technologies entitled Volume 1. Understand, Implement & Evaluate authored by Barbara Means and her team at SRI International. As part of Pearson’s commitment to efficacy, we’re pleased that Barbara -- a leader in evaluating the implementation and efficacy of technology-supported educational innovations -- has led the work on this series as well as being a partner to Pearson in the evaluation of the impact of our products.

Debate the pros and cons of RCTs and other evaluation alternatives in evaluating the impact of learning technologies
