MyOMLab: Improvements for Fall–Part 3

Here are four more upgrades we have made to MyOMLab for Fall 2017. Click for details

OM Simulations Each of these 4, self-contained simulations help students employ critical thinking and analysis to make OM decisions in realistic business contexts. From inventory management for a new tech product to forecasting fuel consumption, students gain valuable exposure to how OM works in the real world, learning key course concepts as they go. Topics Include: Inventory Management, Quality Management, Project Management and Forecasting. (If you are one of our over 500 adopters who is still not using MyOMLab, this one feature alone makes the learning system worthwhile!)

Automatic Grade Sync for Canvas  MyOMLab instructors who have integrated their courses with Canvas have the option to select automatic grade sync, allowing for a seamless way to sync grade data between MyOMLab and their LMS. Automatic grade sync saves time for instructors by transferring grades completely touch-free, eliminating the need to manually transfer grades. Instructors have the option to select all assignments or specific assignments to automatically sync.

Dynamic Study Modules (DSMs) DSMs provide students personalized assistance by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time. Summer 2017 updates introduce a student dashboard and expand instructor reporting capabilities, giving faculty easier insight into student, and class, mastery of concepts. Five new DSM reports and dashboard views provide instructors with the following: ● A high-level summary of a class’ aggregate performance ● Information on topics where students tended to answer questions incorrectly, but with a high degree of confidence ● An in-depth view into the activity of students who continue to answer questions incorrectly ● Insight on student progress towards completing assigned DSM activities ● Details on student’s specific performance.

MyOMLab Plus Portal Update The overall look and feel of the MyOMLab Plus Course Portal is being refreshed to give instructors a more modern, clean, and user-friendly experience. Improvements have been made to the MyOMLab Plus Portal to allow for easier course organization and management.
