ABSTRACT: Instructors often consider integrating web components into their traditional courses. Common questions when considering such additions are: Do these components work? Are they hard to learn? Do they have an impact on how well students learn? Do students use them? Are they worth my time to develop? This demonstration will provide an overview of the My Lab course management and learning software available for multiple disciplines,. It will show how hands-on activities are integrated with the electronic text and illustrate the ease with which the standard package can be modified with little or no technical knowledge. Attendees will see how MyPsychLab is being used in a large (200+) lecture course. The demonstrator will supply data showing an increase in learning based on test grades before and after implementing the program. Data on student course satisfaction and evaluation of the product will also be available to attendees.
