• Effects on the Accounting Equation illustrations help students see connections between transactions, as well as how transactions fit into the big picture. Located next to every journal entry, they reinforce the connections between recording a transaction and the effect those transactions have on the accounting equation.
• Instructor Tips & Tricks throughout the text mimic the experience of having an experienced teacher walk a student through concepts on the board. Many include mnemonic devices or examples to help students remember the rules of accounting.

• Auto-Graded Homework with Learning Aid. MyLab Accounting homework and practice questions are correlated to the textbook, regenerate algorithmically to give students unlimited opportunity for practice and mastery, and offer helpful feedback when students enter incorrect answers. Learning aids, such as Help Me Solve This, DemoDoc Examples, and concept videos provide extra help for students at the point-of-use.
• Worked Out Solutions. Sometimes students need more than just the correct answer to understand their mistakes; they need to understand how to get to that correct answer. Worked Out Solutions are available to students when they are reviewing their submitted and graded homework. The Worked Out Solutions provide step-by-step explanations on how to solve the problem using the exact numbers and data that was presented to the student in the problem.

• NEW! Interactive Exhibits allow students to engage with key exhibits within the enhanced eText. Students can work with journal entries, modify an exhibit’s data to see the resulting impact and effects, or watch a video explanation of key concepts.
• Personalized Learning. Not every student learns the same way or at the same rate. With the growing need for acceleration through many courses, it’s more important than ever to meet students where they learn. Personalized learning in MyLab Accounting gives you the flexibility to incorporate the approach that best suits of your course and your students.
• The Study Plan acts as a tutor, providing personalized recommendations for each of your students based on his or her ability to master the learning objectives in your course. This allows students to focus their study time by pinpointing the precise areas they need to review, and allowing them to use customized practice and learning aids — such as videos, eText, tutorials, and more — to get them back on track. Using the report available in the Gradebook, you can then tailor course lectures to prioritize the content where students need the most support — offering you better insight into classroom and individual performance.
• Dynamic Study Modules help students study effectively on their own by continuously assessing their activity and performance in real time. Here’s how it works: students complete a set of questions with a unique answer format that also asks them to indicate their confidence level. Questions repeat until the student can answer them all correctly and confidently. Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules explain the concept using materials from the text. These are available as graded assignments prior to class, and accessible on smartphones, tablets, and computers. NEW! Instructors can now remove questions from Dynamic Study Modules to better fit their course.
• Question Types enhance flexibility:
• Open Response Questions require students to type in their answers instead of choosing them from a drop-down menu. This helps students think critically while further preparing them for the format of their exam.
• General Ledger Questions. Students can launch the General Ledger software in MyLab Accounting, work on their accounts, post to the ledger, and save their work. The work is auto-graded and their grades automatically flow to the MyLab Accounting Gradebook.
• An Algorithmic Testbank allows instructors to create tests with unique values for each student.

• Robust Gradebook tracking. The online Gradebook automatically tracks your students’ results on tests, homework, and practice exercises and gives you control over managing results and calculating grades. The Gradebook provides a number of flexible grading options, including exporting grades to a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. And, it lets you measure and document your students’ learning outcomes.
• Animated Lecture Videos. This pre-class learning aid, available for every learning objective, is a professor-narrated PowerPoint summary to help students prepare for class.
• Learning Management System (LMS) Integration. You can now link from Blackboard Learn, Brightspace by D2L, Canvas, or Moodle to MyLab Accounting. Access assignments, rosters, and resources, and synchronize grades with your LMS Gradebook. For students, single sign-on provides access to all the personalized learning resources that make studying more efficient and effective.
• Reporting Dashboard. View, analyze, and report learning outcomes clearly and easily, and get the information you need to keep your students on track throughout the course, with the new Reporting Dashboard. Available via the MyLab Accounting Gradebook and fully mobile-ready, the Reporting Dashboard presents student performance data at the class, section, and program levels in an accessible, visual manner.
• Easily scalable and shareable content. MyLab Accounting enables you to manage multiple class sections, and lets other instructors copy your settings so a standardized syllabus can be maintained across your department.
