If you haven’t seen many posts from me in the past few weeks, it’s because I’ve been working on enhancements for myomlab. As you know from my previous post regarding myomlab software, I think myomlab is revolutionizing OM teaching and learning. For the instructors already using myomlab, I hope your classes are going well. We would love to hear from you with your observations and comments (you can click the Comments button below to publish them) or email me.
Some of the new features in myomlab are:
- A greatly enhanced set of Guided Solutions to provide an improved tutorial experience for individual problems. The goal is to have a Guided Solution for each problem as well as a text reference. The Guided Solutions are being added as they are developed and evaluated for pedagogy and accuracy.
- A ‘copy and paste’ option that we have been developing with Howard Weiss of Temple University facilitates transfer of data from myomlab problems to Howard’s Excel OM and POM for Windows as well as to Excel.
- The ability to apply a penalty (deducting points or percentage) for assignments submitted late.
- The ability to assign multiple prerequisites for assignments.
- And a ‘custom question builder’ enabeling you to create and edit your own questions.
