Pearson is not a favorite company of most college students. Something about buying $200 textbooks for every class every year rubs students the wrong way, who woulda thought? That hasn't stopped the company from releasing a new standard for esports curriculum in the UK in partnership with the British Esports Assosciation. I highlight some of the potential issues with the curriculum but check out this Esports Insider deep dive (https://esportsinsider.com/2020/04/pearson-esports-btec/) if you want to learn more about how this curriculum was created and how Pearson is hoping to turn professors who haven't played a video game in fifteen years into knowledgable guides of esports.
