Case Study: University of Tromsø boosts student preparedness and engagement with Pearson Revel

University of Tromsø boosts student preparedness 56% with Pearson

The University of Tromsø in Norway sought a more flexible and effective way to teach its introductory Python programming course, which had a large cohort of mostly online students. The educator previously created his own tests but was looking for a solution that would allow students to work more independently while still providing insight into their progress. The university adopted Pearson's Revel platform for the course material.

Using Pearson's Revel, the instructor assigned online programming tasks and exercises, utilizing its integrated ebook, self-study courses, and interactive content. This solution provided students with the ability to work independently and receive instant feedback. The results were highly positive, with a 100% purchase rate and student survey feedback showing that 70% felt Revel helped them better understand the material and 56% felt better prepared for class. The instructor was so satisfied that he stated he would not hesitate to use Revel again.
