Finding the Humor in Regression
Thursday, February 16, 2012 - 11:36 | By: Becky Anderson | Category: Product Updates
I never thought I'd say this, but I just watched this great video that explains regression--and it's funny. What am I talking about? Pearson's new StatTalk videos by Andrew Vickers, author of What is a p-value Anyway?. Fun-loving statistician Andrew Vickers takes to the streets of Brooklyn, NY to demonstrate important statistical concepts through interesting stories and real-life events.
Changes to Tutoring
Monday, January 9, 2012 - 15:56 | By: Becky Anderson | Category: Product Updates
As of January 2, 2012, all MyMathLab and MyStatLab courses now offer 24/7 online tutoring, and no longer offer phone-based tutoring. All registered MyMathLab and MyStatLab students will have an opportunity to sample the online tutoring service (one free session of up to 30-minutes) at no charge. Further optional tutoring sessions will then be available for purchase. Some of the benefits of this new model include:
-
24/7 online tutoring
-
No additional registration needed from MML/MSL

Rolled-up Item Analysis for Exports
Item Analysis Exports are now available for course groups from both the Quick Exports and Advanced Exports pages. If a coordinator-instructor exports Item Analysis for a course group, he/she can get a summary of student performance across all course sections in the course group, and also student scoring details for each student. Question metrics (difficulty, median time, correct on first try) are also included in Advanced Exports.

PERT + Pearson
Tuesday, June 14, 2011 - 22:44 | By: Becky Anderson | Category: Product Updates
Does your state have standards in place for what students should know at the conclusion of a particular course or sequence of courses? We at Pearson have been working to align a number of our courses and textbooks with the outcomes determined by states for higher education. For example, Florida has developed the Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) as the primary placement assessment used by The Florida College System. We now have four different MyMathLab courses that include the PERT Standards, for easy instructor assessment of student understanding of the objectives.

Mobile Dashboards are Now Live
Friday, February 4, 2011 - 16:46 | By: Becky Anderson | Category: Product Updates
I am delighted to announce that the mobile dashboards for MyMathLab, MyStatLab, and MathXL are now live!
This initial release of this free, standalone mobile app allows students to log in and review information from the dashboard of their courses: announcements, assignments, results, and progress bars for completed work. This app for iPhones, iPads, and Android phones is designed to promote effective study habits rather than allow students to complete assignments on their mobile devices.

And you can see what they are like now, since there are 150 questions in every course at this moment. Just go into step #2 of the homework and test manager and select the chapter CQL (Conceptual Question Library) to see what we have.
