Demo of the New MyAccountingLab Features


Check out a demo of the many new features released this past December for MyAccountingLab and more.

In short that includes:

  • Compatibility with Firefox on a PC and with Mac-based browsers.
  • A newly redesigned MAL player, with an expandable content viewing area.
  • For new students, or students who didn’t have Flash for any reason, a new Browser Check that tells them all at once what plugins if any that they need.
  • TestGen questions available for homework assignment as well as for tests
  • Ability to set the number of attempts for each question in a homework assignment
  • The ability in Preview and Add for instructors to see the questions all worked out, or as a student might see them.
  • When reviewing a student's test or homework assignment, an instructor can add question-specific comments for the student.
  • Students are graded when they leave a question even if it’s not done; in the old courses they would just receive an incomplete until they finished every part.
  • For instructors, a new Ask the Publisher feature allows them when previewing questions or reviewing results to send their questions or comments right to Pearson.

And in most US courses that also includes:

  • A study plan that only opens one learning objective at a time, versus all at once.
  • Pretests, posttests and sample homework chosen by instructors to provide assignments "out of the box."
  • Bookmatch questions have all been renamed to be “book/static”.
  • Optional Alt/static questions that instructors can assign as alternatives to the bookmatch versions.
  • “Objective” has been changed to “Learning Objective” throughout the site.

The new MyAccountingLab Player is available for select courses now and with all new courses launching in Spring and beyond.
