It contains Pearson content from our world-renowned authors and industry-leading case studies and articles. As a bespoke text, it contains the content students specifically need for their course – nothing extra!

What’s in a custom MyLab?

With custom MyLab you can combine practice quizzes, assessment questions and self-study content from two or more different MyLab courses to create a bespoke MyLab tailored to your course.

We can create an eBook to match the practice and assessment topics and integrate it into your custom MyLab course so that everything is in one place. Custom MyLabs offer single sign on access directly through your VLE, simplifying the student experience.

Why do lecturers love Custom?

Our custom book brings together a
disparate range of resources in an
affordable format, which otherwise
would probably not be practical.

University Reader at University of York

I would rate my experience in creating
a custom product as 5/5. The benefits to
my students for using a custom resource
are that it’s more focused and at a lower
cost as all the relevant chapters are
included in one resource.

Lecturer at University of Hull

I decided to use a custom resource for a
more personalised teaching experience.
The main benefit to my students has
been more targeted and focused learning.
I would recommend a Pearson custom
resource to a colleague.
