What is a MyLab?

Personalised learning | Online assessment |Your flexible resource to focussed study

Pearson Education’s MyLab products provide an innovative and interactive web-based solution that personalises both the teaching and learning experience. With content developed to match the learning outcomes of the associated textbook, the power of a MyLab lies in the combination of assessment, reporting, and personalised study that helps both students and instructors succeed.  

Within a flexible course management platform, instructors can:

• Assess student progress through homework quizzes and tests that are easily set using the extensive pre-prepared question bank.
• Assign short answer, discussion and essay questions from each chapter for student homework or tutorial preparation.
• Track student activity and performance using detailed reporting capabilities.
• Communicate with students and teaching staff using email and announcement tools.

Students will benefit from a personalised learning experience, where they can:

• Complete a diagnostic ‘pre-test’ to generate a personal self-study plan that enables them to focus on the topics where their knowledge is weaker.
• Improve their understanding through a variety of practice activities including; revision flashcards, e-book reading assignments, short answer questions, audio downloads and video cases.
• Measure their progress with a follow-up ‘post-test’ that ensures they have mastered key learning objectives – and gives them the confidence to move on to the next chapter. 

A dedicated team will give you all the assistance you need to get online and make the most of a MyLab. If you would like to find out more about how to take advantage of this innovative opportunity to personalise your course, please email Katie.Thorn@pearson.com
