MyOMLab: More Help for Going On-Line with Your OM Course

For many instructors, student assessment is one of the most labor-intensive components of teaching an on-line class. Our MyOMLab assessment tool allows for automatic grade responses to algorithmic homework and test questions, to multiple choice questions, and to video and OM in the News questions.  In addition to simplifying assessment, the use of this tool  amplifies student engagement and helps students learn more efficiently. (MyOMLab also automatically calculates metrics for every question, including number who attempted it, number correct, number with partial credit, number incorrect, and average time spent).

Well over 60% of our text adopters have implemented MyOMLab into their OM courses. It’s easy to do (learning takes less than an hour) and Pearson’s reps are available for one-on-one training. Live training sessions with Pearson Faculty Advisors are scheduled for Mondays at 11:00 a.m. ET and Tuesdays at 3:00 p.m. ET  Register by clicking here.

Because of the coronavirus class cancellations, Pearson is providing MyOMLab free to you and your students for the next few months. Here is a link to locate your local Pearson representative:  http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/replocator/.
