Do you think distanced learning essentially means disconnection? When you focus on the phrase ‘online school’, do you picture lonely learners working solo, solemn in front of their screens from morning till night? If so, here’s an updated image to keep in mind and replace that: a global network of switched-on students, connecting socially through a hub of activity, sharing ideas, conversations, culture and laughs.

Pearson Online Academy UK Global has been founded on Pearson’s 20-plus years’ expertise in designing a full online learning experience. One lasting benefit of online learning is a heightened capacity for self-management and independence – skills that pay off handsomely for students when they go on to higher education and the world of work. But exactly how does an online school help student build those skills?
We ask Mickey Revenaugh, Vice President, Business Development - Pearson Global Online Learning, to share her views.
