Thank you for giving us time to present MyLab Math to the entire team
It was a pleasure meeting everyone and hearing about your challenges & experiences teaching Math to today’s student.
MyLab is a leading educational platform that empowers each student to be successful in their course. It combines trusted author content with digital tools and was developed to help faculty more effectively and efficiently teach their courses. It gives instructors the flexibility to create courses to fit their needs, while encouraging students’ individualized learning.
We’d like to bring your attention to a few of the features you will find in MyLab Math based on our conversations with you at NAIT.
Student Engagement
Learning Catalytics is our “bring your own device” classroom engagement tool that comes FREE with MyMath Lab
Academic Integrity
Pearson is committed to promoting learning and mitigating cheating by addressing these temptations with research-based strategies designed to provide guidance when needed.
1. Multiple Pools
You can use pooled assignments to give each student only a specified number of items from each pool in an assignment. In a pooled assignment, each student is given a random subset of the items from each pool in the assignment, which further complicates attempts to share answers.
2. Increased Randomization
3. Lock Down Browser
Study Plan
Students often ask if there are additional problems that they can practice, especially before a test. Fortunately, in MyLab, we have these additional problems automatically available for students to practice at any given time in the Study Plan. This is a safe place for students to practice that will not negatively impact their grade.
Personalized Learning
Homework
With Personalized Homework, students take a quiz or test and receive a subsequent homework assignment that is personalized based on their performance. The quiz or test, created by the instructor, gives the instructor control over the topics covered, and Personalized Homework focuses each student on just the topics they haven’t mastered. Students value the targeted nature of Personalized Homework.
Learning aids
Learning aids are available in homework exercises and study plan assignments, including Help Me Solve This, View an Example, Watch a Video, Ask my Instructor, and Link to the Textbook. Instructors can control which learning aids are available to students and at what moments.
Freehand Grader
Freehand Grader, available as a new assignment type, allows you to quickly grade any kind of handwritten assignment. As you grade, you indicate the grading criteria and build the rubric question-by-question. This grade-as-you-go approach lets you add notes to provide students with individual feedback.
Students upload their hand-written solutions, including all the steps that go into their responses. Their work provides insight into their thought processes, showing what they know, not just a final answer.
Custom Question Builder
Create your own questions to include on homework assignments, tests, and quizzes, using the Custom Question Builder. Create questions with algorithmically generated values that regenerate each time a student works the question. Questions can include number lines, Cartesian graphs, pie charts, bar charts, and figures, or edit publisher-provided questions.
GeoGebra Exercises
GeoGebra Exercises in MyLab Math are gradable graphing exercises that help students demonstrate their understanding. They enable students to interact directly with the graph in a manner that reflects how students would graph on paper.
