Access Pearson Features

Freehand Grader 

Freehand Grader enables instructors to gain more insight into their students’ thinking. With Freehand Grader, students can upload their hand-written assignments, illustrate their thought processes, and receive meaningful feedback on their approach.

Dynamic Study Modules

Dynamic Study Modules help students stay on track and pursue a higher level of subject-matter mastery. Each module poses a series of questions about a course topic that adapts to each student's performance and offers personalized feedback to help reinforce their mastery. With real-time feedback on their students' performance, instructors can adjust their learning activities accordingly.

Pre-built Courses and Assignments

Pre-built Courses and Assignments ease instructor workload and save time with MyLab’s pre-built courses and assignments. Each course has a collection of interactive course-specific content to adapt as instructors see fit.

Early Alerts

Early Alerts help identify students who may be struggling or falling behind. This feature uses an algorithm within MyLab that projects potential risks and alerts instructors when a student may be falling behind. With these notifications, instructors can intervene, provide support, and help keep students on track to complete the course.

Learning Catalytics

Learning Catalytics helps to increase student engagement and enhance their learning in the classroom. This interactive student response tool allows instructors to set questions and surveys and assess student comprehension. It also equips instructors with real-time data to help adjust their instructional strategy on the fly. Learning Catalytics also automatically groups students for discussion, team-based learning, and peer-to-peer learning.
