Personalized Content
Create a text that works for you and your students. The McWhorter Module Solutions (MMS) for course redesign provides a flexible new model for creating and producing state, institution, course, and student-specific integrated reading and writing (IRW) texts matched to required learning objectives or core competencies.
Drawing on McWhorter’s reading text Reading Across the Disciplines (RAD), 6th Edition, her integrated reading/writing text Reading and Writing About Contemporary Issues (RAWCI), 2nd Edition, and specific individual content modules, Pearson can rapidly develop and publish custom textbooks to meet the needs of state and/or college mandates. More specifically, any of the chapters in either text above can be combined with a choice of standalone content modules to provide a specific learning experience.

MySkillsLab®
MySkillsLab has been a popular choice for course redesign in states like Virginia, Texas, and North Carolina, where colleges redesigned their developmental courses to integrate reading and writing.
MySkillsLab works successfully because it provides a rich and flexible set of course materials, including animations, assessment tools, and textbook resources. With MySkillsLab, you have the ability to assign resources like animations and videos in addition to exercises. This multimodal approach ensures that students are going through the learning process instead of simply skipping ahead to their homework.

As pedagogy evolves, so do our products.
