An Introduction to the session…
This session will look at tools and techniques that can support the development and structuring of an innovation, taking into account the context in which it operates, objectives, expected results, likely indicators of success and the expected impact
Pearson’s Efficacy Framework will be tested as a [e.g. stand-alone] means to support the stakeholders to innovate in TEL / education
Key objectives
For attendees the learnshop would provide the opportunity:
1. To acquaint yourself with the efficacy framework as a tool to engender learning-focused discussions when assessing and evaluating prospective innovations
2. To examine a specific case through the lens of a rigorous and structured framework, providing key takeaways at both the transversal and individual innovation level

Exercise
Key takeaways and useful resources
The path to Efficacy: why?
• As the world’s leading learning company, we feel we have a responsibility and an opportunity to help people make progress in their lives through learning
• We have aligned our activities around the principle of Efficacy to achieve this
6 Sessão 2: Ferramentas e técnicas l April 2014
Pearson’s definition of efficacy
efficacy(dictionary definition)• ability to produce the intended
result
efficiency(dictionary definition)• achieve maximum productivity
with minimum wasted effort
7
Put simply…
it’s all about products that improve results and measurable outcomes for learners.
Efficacy (Pearson’s definition)• a measureable impact on improving someone’s
life through learning
Sessão 2: Ferramentas e técnicas l April 2014
Why now?
• There is a shared understanding that high-quality education drives personal, economic and societal growth
• Governments, individuals, employers and institutions recognise the need to deliver high-quality learning
• New technology makes it increasingly possible to see what works and what doesn’t in helping learners to achieve their goals
8 Sessão 2: Ferramentas e técnicas l April 2014

Our commitment to reporting our impact on learner outcomes
“Pearson’s purpose is to help people make progress in their lives through learning. So, we better be sure that we can demonstrate [our products deliver a] measurable impact on learning outcomes.
“[By 2018] we will, in a rigorous and externally audited way…[publicly] report on [how our products and services improve] learner outcomes.”
John Fallon Nov 15, 2013
How are we helping millions to improve their lives through learning?
12 Sessão 2: Ferramentas e técnicas l April 2014
The response to the external communication of efficacy has been largely positive
“That’s an enormous commitment and if they really follow through, it gives me some confidence that this is not merely a marketing ploy.”
Feedback from education leaders
“Pearson’s brightest possible future is not as a company that designs educationally effective products, but as one that facilitates conversation and research about efficacy within the broader academic community.”
“At face value, it’s a bold move because it moves the content of education from being critically reviewed by experts to an empirical review,…. It’s the transition from, 'This is a great book’ to ‘This material really works.’ ”
To report audited learning outcomes measures and targets alongside financial accounts, covering the whole business by 2018.
Our commitment

The Efficacy Framework has already been examined as a tool to support innovation
• At Online Educa Berlin last year (OEB), Pearson partnered with the European Learning Industry Group (ELIG), to deliver an interactive learnshop
• This involved applying the efficacy framework to selected case studies that demonstrated innovations to support technology-enhanced learning (TEL)
• Opening up the conversation to external input is vital to the success of efficacy

An Efficacy Framework: predicting the likelihood of impacting learner outcomes
Four criteria:
1. What learner outcomes are we trying to achieve?
2. What evidence do we have to believe it is possible to achieve these outcomes?
3. What plans are in place to build and deploy a solution that will impact these outcomes?
4. What capacity exists to achieve these outcomes?

Efficacy Framework: Evidence - Why should anyone believe us?
Framework Section
Evidence
Comprehensiveness of evidence
Ask yourself ∙ How well do we understand what our user needs and values?
∙ Is the vision for the innovation supported by research (internal or
external)?
∙ Are we leveraging proven approaches from other innovations?
Quality of evidence
Ask yourself ∙ How rigorous is our evidence?
Is the rigour appropriate for the innovation?
∙ How recent and relevant is the research?
Application of evidence
Ask yourself ∙ How evidence-based is the innovation design?
∙ Has the design been tested?
∙ Does evidence demonstrate that the innovation can be replicated
globally?
20 Sessão 2: Ferramentas e técnicas l April 2014
Rating Rationale
Comprehensiveness of evidence
?Project 1
• Strong set of academic evidence and expertise underpinning the innovation.• Comprehensive teacher focus groups across markets and regions, focusing on the right questions (usability,
price point etc); some concerns about scope of potential customers canvassed (see below). • Traditional competitors are tracked, but not non-traditional competitors who offer tests.
Quality of evidence
?Project 2
• There is a good mix of quantitative and qualitative evidence as well as unbiased samples from the survey. Nonetheless, a large amount of the available evidence is based on the previous innovation (before Sept 2012 enhancement) and, therefore, is not fully applicable to the current innovation. Also, there is little documented evidence coming from the students as to date there has been more focus on teacher rather than student outcomes.
Effective use of evidence
?Project 3
• The external evidence that has been collated is not known or accessible to all members of the team. There may be additional evidence within the business that could be exploited. The use of [this capability] in innovation design is not yet articulated and it is essential that any major decisions should be underpinned by research. Pilot innovations must be timed so information can feed back into the design [of this capability)
Warm-up (5 mins): Rate the evidence for Projects 1-3
Exercise: Evidence
• Good -- requires small number of minor actions• Mixed – requires some actions (some urgent and some non-urgent)• Problematic -- requires large number of urgent actions• Off track – Highly problematic requiring substantial number of urgent actions

38 Sessão 2: Ferramentas e técnicas l April 2014
Identifying dialogue and collaboration with the wider education community as crucial to
accelerate progress, Pearson has also published two reports:
• The first, Asking More: The Path to Efficacy, sets out the imperative for measuring
and improving learning outcomes worldwide
• The second, The Incomplete Guide to Delivering Learning Outcomes, shares in detail
our new approach to contributing to that goal and the progress it has made so far
Reference material: Efficacy publications
39 Sessão 2: Ferramentas e técnicas l April 2014
“The future will belong not
to those who focus on the
technology alone but to
those who place it in this
wider context and see it as
one element of a wider
system transformation.”

• The design can be adapted and developed.
• Others could use this design, and it has been shared with them.
• Feedback/research has allowed me to identify what benefits the innovation needs to deliver to users.
• Feedback and return-on-investment research shows that the cost of the innovation reflects the benefits delivered.
• Outcomes are not documented or specific.
• People within and outside my innovation do not understand the intended outcomes or communicate them in the same way.
• Targets do not exist to measure outcomes against.
• Outcomes are only defined at a high level.

• The evidence is not representative of how a learner would use this innovation.
• All evidence is readily accessible and searchable.
• The evidence is used regularly to inform the design of my innovation.
• Collected evidence is also used to inform non-design decisions.
• The evidence that exists cannot be accessed quickly via electronic means.
• The design of my innovation has not been changed as the result of evidence.
• Major decisions about my innovation are not underpinned by evidence.
• Evidence is collected via a limited range of methods and does not balance qualitative and quantitative sources.
