We help you select the type of resources that will help your students and fit your pedagogy, be it flipped seminar sessions, comprehension quizzes, etc. Together, we help you identify the areas you feel your students find particularly challenging or any gaps in the learning content for your modules that you may wish to fill.

How Pearson Study Bites works

Pearson Study Bites gives you an easily manageable way to source essential need-to-know content for your course – giving you more time to focus on supporting your students’ engagement, progression and success.

Helping you source engaging digital learning contentFinding top-quality digital learning resources to engage, support and stretch your students can be a time-consuming activity, as it often requires your or your students to wade through vast repositories of texts and content.

Equally, providing a simple and cost-effective way for students to access all of these materials can be a challenge.

That’s why we’ve developed a flexible service that, unlike other asset libraries or resource banks, enables you to give your students access to the best digital resources for specific topics or modules, specifically tailored to your needs.

Study Bites

“Study Bites enabled us to condense a number of important topics from the Public Law module into

manageable portions. The service was very easy to integrate into our VLE and and I’d recommend it as a particularly useful tool for students lacking confidence or struggling with a particular subject/topic, or as a revision tool.Students generally felt that it helped with their preparation for the end of year exam – the facility to obtain immediate answers to knowledge-based questions and the interactive multiple choice questions being particularly useful. It was also good for students to be given an opportunity to practice answering the multiple choice questions, through which they could test and strengthen their knowledge and understanding, and improve their confidence.”
