    Hello MED Members,

    Will you be attending the Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois? If so, Pearson is looking for instructors to participate in focus groups.

    Participants will receive a $150 payment for their work and feedback, along with light snacks. Our goal for these focus groups is to gather feedback on products we currently have in development.

    Your efforts, feedback and guidance at this stage will be tremendously valuable.

    If you will be in Chicago for the conference, we hope you can join us. Please confirm your availability no later than Friday, July 27, 2018 by completing this brief questionnaire.*

    We will offer two sessions on Saturday, August 11, 2018:

    • Group Work: Come learn about how to take advantage of a group work tool, designed to support each step of group work from selecting a pre-created assignment, to selecting groups, to grading. We'll get hands on in a new tool and get your feedback for future developments.
    • Integrated Reading and Practice for Organizational Behavior: In this session, we'll examine a brand new digital product designed to help student read, study, and practice in one continuous experience. In this session, we'll work through a brand new product's focus on how OB theories translate into skills, ensuring students will learn how to succeed in today's ever-changing business environment regardless of their career goals and spend time talking through best practices for engaging iGens through digital first products.

    We rely on the input of instructors like you to help us keep our products ahead of the curve and hope you will be able to join us.


    All the best,


    Your Pearson Business Team (Kris Ellis-Levy & Becky Brown)
