Supporting the Best Educational Content

At Pearson, we envision an open learning environment where it’s easy for institutions and educators to create and curate content. We’re driven to use technology and the power of Big Data as the catalysts for a revolution in education.

Through fully-supported, open APIs, we’re making it easy for anyone to connect content to OpenClass. And with a critical mass of students interacting with content, it’s possible to translate critical insights gleaned through data and analytics to content optimizations that help boost course efficacy and bring about amazing strides in personalized and adaptive learning.

We believe that OpenClass provides an incredible opportunity for content creators to develop courses – including born-digital content – that can make a difference across audiences and institutions. And soon the OpenClass Exchange will include the ability to sell your content.

Everything You Need to Connect to Students

We’ve designed OpenClass from the ground-up to help you save time and stay connected to your students. And because OpenClass is cloud-based, you can easily create and edit courses, access your course materials, and check your assignments anywhere, anytime.

You always have a set of easy-to-use administrative tools at your fingertips to help measure progress and gain data-driven insights–by individual student or by course–within and across institutions. OpenClass is also built with social at its core, so you can keep in touch and keep conversations relevant with the born-digital generation.

OpenClass was tailor-made for you. We looked at the way students actually communicate, work together, and use content online – and we baked what we learned into one amazing application. OpenClass combines the best of social networking, collaboration, and education sites into a great tool that makes it easy to work on group projects, share docs, chat, and Skype. And with tons of interactive digital content, every subject is now within your reach.
