Educating the Planet with Pearson
Pearson Education is working towards providing education to anyone, anywhere on the planet through massive open online courses (MOOCs). They have partnered with Aurelius to apply graph theory and network science to this burgeoning space. The development of Titan, a distributed graph database, has enabled Pearson to handle large-scale educational data and support complex transactions at high speeds. Through the use of advanced algorithms and automation, they aim to provide computational human augmentation in the education space.
