Reinking and Robert von der Osten MyWritingLab is an online practice, tutorial, and assessment program that provides engaging experiences for teaching and learning. MyWritingLab includes most of the writing assignments from your accompanying textbook. Now, students can complete and submit assignments, and teachers can then track and respond to submissions easily—right in MyWritingLab—making the response process easier for the instructor and more engaging for the student. In the Writing Assignments, students can use instructor-created peer review rubrics to evaluate and comment on other students’ writing. When giving feedback on student writing, instructors can add links to activities that address issues and strategies needed for review. Instructors may link to multimedia resources in Pearson Writer, which include curated content from Purdue OWL. Paper review by specialized tutors through SmartThinking is available, as is plagiarism detection through TurnItIn. Respond to Student Writing with Targeted Feedback and Remediation MyWritingLab unites instructor comments and feedback with targeted remediation via rich multimedia activities, allowing students to learn from and through their own writing. Writing Help for Varying Skill Levels For students who enter the course at widely varying skill levels, MyWritingLab provides unique, targeted remediation through personalized and adaptive instruction, freeing up more class time for actual writing. The results of the pre-assessment inform each student’s Learning Path, a personalized pathway for students to work on requisite skills through multimodal activities. In doing so, students feel supported and ready to succeed in class. NEW!
