Students enter the course with a range of skill levels and knowledge of Microsoft Office applications. In working through assigned simulations and homework in MyLab IT, students can customize their learning experience and build on their knowledge by utilizing multiple attempts, available learning aids, and detailed score reports.
Class meets in a computer lab twice a week for 75 minutes each session. As a recommended best practice, at the beginning of the semester, Rutledge assigns a syllabus quiz she created in MyLab IT.
She has students work on MyLab Simulation Trainings after the in-class activity as homework. Students have an unlimited number of attempts to earn their best score. Grader Project assignments are designed to test what students have learned in the MyLab IT Simulation Trainings and reading assignments. In the face-to-face sections, MyLab IT accounts for 45% of the total course grade and in the online sections, MyLab IT accounts for 55% of the total course grade.
Students were divided into two groups — those scoring above and those scoring below the average MyLab Simulation Training score of 95.6%.
Students were divided into two groups based on their average MyLab homework score of 85%, identifying the following:
Setting students up for success with a “How-to” Grader Project assignment
Addressing student complaints regarding MyLab scoring
Assigning mid-semester journal reflection
