The December 2008 release of MyAccountingLab™ included a new player providing support for Macintosh® and Windows® platforms. The new player adds to previously released features like auto-graded problems and interactive Help Me Solve This questions, and more.

After this past December 23 ^rd , a new MyAccountingLab Player was released that adds to previously released features like auto-graded problems and interactive Help Me Solve This questions, with:

• Support for both Macintosh® and Windows® platforms.
  
  
• Browser independence andcompatibility with Internet Explorer®, Firefox®, and Safari™ browsers.
  
  
• Freedom from downloads by no longer requiring an ActiveX plug-in. In courses using the MyAccountingLab Player v2, the Installation Wizard will be replaced by a simple browser check. The system will make sure a user's computer has the proper version of the Adobe® Flash® 9 Player when a course is created, when a student enrolls in a MyAccountingLab course, and the first time a student clicks a MyAccountingLab link from within a CourseCompass course. If not, users will be prompted to download the Flash Player from the Adobe web site.

A new player design that updates the MyAccountingLab "easy to use" look and feel, and incorporates new features like an expandible content area that allows students and instructors to widen the question area and gain even more room for viewing questions as needed.

• Show/Hide Learning Aids – Instructors will have the option to show or hide individual learning aids for the entire course (Study Plan and assignments) or to show and hide them for individual tests, quizzes, and homework assignments. For example, instructors can choose to hide Help Me Solve This and Videos on a homework assignment, or show Textbook pages on a quiz or practice test. Instructors can also choose to show learning aids during review only. For example, an instructor could make Help Me Solve This available to students reviewing a test.
  
  
• Add Comments during Review – When reviewing a student's test or homework assignment, an instructor will be able to add question-specific comments for the student. The comment is automatically displayed the first time the student reviews the test or homework assignment and can be accessed on subsequent reviews via a “View Comment” button located above other learning aids.
