The Guided Solutions for all of the problems in Myomlab are now completed and available for spring semester. This means that students have the opportunity to click on the 123 tab on the upper left of the problem screen for help (a problem specific tutorial) when solving a bookmatch problem. The Guided Solutions are in addition to the Examples and Videos that are available with many problems.
As you may know, thousands of questions from the Test Item File are also available in Myomlab. With the good help of Chuck Munson (Washington State University), we have reviewed all of the True/False and Multiple Choice questions for accuracy. We have also made a special effort to remove any ‘tricky’ problems or problems with any ambiguity. These revisions too, are now available.
Additionally, the Myomlab platform has some enhancements. Among these are:
Track Time Spent on Media Students now will have to explicitly click the ‘submit’ button after viewing the media relevant to the assignment. This enables instructors to track the time students spent on each media file.
Custom Question Builder Updates For those of you adding your own questions, you are now able to edit table properties in Word-like tables.
Mobile App for iPhones, Pads, and Android phones (or it is a hi-tech world) This enhancement allows students to login and review information from the dashboard of their course. This means that course announcements, assignments, and results for completed work are readily available. However, students may not complete assignments from their mobile devices.
There is another exciting update to myomlab. It is now possible to copy the data that appear in tables in the homework problems in myomlab. The copied data can then be pasted into either Excel, POM for Windows or Excel OM. To copy into POM for Windows or Excel OM students must use Version 4 of the two packages. Installation packages for Version 4 of POM for Windows and Excel OM are available from the Download Center in myomlab.
