MyAccountingLab®, the leading accounting technology, is even better! On December 29, 2009, MyAccountingLab was updated with the new features that you have been asking for! This includes the ability to set the number of tries per part, to have homework factor into the Study Plan, to hide the Study Plan altogether, and for Coordinators the ability to see results from all their member courses at once.

New Features

• Ability to Adjust Number of Tries within Questions
  
• Instructors can now choose the number of times students can work each answer field within a question, changing the default of three tries to any number between 1 and 99. They do this either at the question level from the Preview & Add or Remove window or at the assignment level from View Question Details.
  
  
• Homework Affects Mastery in Study Plan
  
• Instructors now have the option to allow Homework to affect the Study Plan. In addition, they can control which assignment types affect the Study Plan and determine mastery. On the Mastery Options page in the Study Plan Manager, they can include Homework, exclude Sample Tests or Quizzes, and specify the percentage score needed for mastery in each assignment type.
  
  
• Ability to Hide the Study Plan
  
• Instructors who do not use the Study Plan in their course now have the option of hiding it completely (the button is not shown). Other instructors may choose to hide the Study Plan until after students have taken a test or completed an assignment; both options can be found on the Select Coverage page in the Study Plan Manager.
  
  
• Ability to Hide Test Score and/or Question Results
  
• A new “Results Display” section on the assignment Settings page lets instructors choose whether to show students their test scores and question results (the current display), show test scores only, or show neither. When show no results is selected, students see their Results page immediately after submitting a test or quiz, however, dashes appear in the column where scores would normally be.
  
  
• Item Analysis for Pooled Tests and Quizzes
  
• On tests and quizzes that use pooled questions, instructors now have item-level student performance statistics. This will allow you to analyze how the class and individual students performed by test question and objective and also gauge the relative difficulty of questions from the same pool.
  
  
• Rolled-up Coordinator Course Exports
  
• Coordinator course instructors can choose to generate Advanced Exports of student results for all Member courses to which they have access in one file. This file also contains summary information of student performance across the entire course group.
  
  
• Additional Features in MyAccountingLab Courses
  

• Instructors and students will have additional options in many of their courses:

  • Instructors can disable browser printing in high-stakes tests.
  • There’s Improved printing of long accounting questions.
