Where…Acclaim: Where Pearson fits in this ecosystem.
Learner Control
Data Science
Efficacy: “A measurable impact on improving someone’s life through learning.”
Get Individuals Better Jobs
Resume
Issue: Resume = SEO
“Good at completing annual goals…”
“Good at completing annual goals…” (a datapoint from a real resume)
Employers can’t properly evaluate or trust what gets presented to them, because it
lacks verification and context.
Avoid• Gamification
• Low-end Credentials (spadges)
Acclaim’s Snowflake Moment• Recognized Brands
• Marketable Skills
• Appropriate Granularity
Why Pearson?
