We are pleased to announce a new way this fall to navigate MyOMLab and gain deeper insight into student performance. The changes will reduce the time it takes to set up and navigate MyOMLab. We have also enhanced the eText experience for your students. A quick summary of updates follows (click here for more details):
New Instructor Home: The Instructor Home simplifies MyOMLab navigation. It’s comprised of four tiles: 1. Welcome 2. Gradebook 3. Assignments 4. Enrich your course. Each tile has direct links to the most highly utilized features for course administration, so you can get where you need to go in one click.
Welcome tile: The first tile provides general administrative options including: ● Current course time zone ● Standard/Coordinator settings ● Announcements. The Welcome Tile also allows you to return to whichever MyOMLab screen you last visited.
Gradebook tile: With one click, you are able to access the most highly used gradebook management features including: ● Send email reminders for students to complete assignments ● Manage gradebook ● Manage incompletes ● All assignments results ● Change weights
Assignments tile: Similarly, you have instant access to the most highly utilized assignment management features including: ● Manage/edit assignments ● Settings for multiple assignments ● Individual student settings
Enrich Your Course tile: The final tile allows you to easily discover and implement teaching and learning features that meet the needs of your course. The Enrich Your Course page, accessed from the instructor homepage, provides you with an overview of some of the most important features and a guide to get started using these features quickly.
New student performance analytics: Performance analytics will allow you to have a quick glance of the overall course performance, or the ability to click on a name to drill down on an individual student performance. Accessed through your gradebook, performance analytics give you an easy way to engage directly with students based on insights.
eText Enhancements: The eText update includes: ● Syncing of notes across all devices ● A new look for the table of contents ● Faster load times ● Improved browser compatibility ● Access to the new eText Notebook
