MyCommunicationLab delivers proven results in helping individual students succeed.

• Pearson MyLabs are currently in use by millions of students each year across a variety of disciplines.

• MyCommunicationLab works–but don’t take our word for it. Visit our MyLab / Mastering site to read white papers, case studies, and testimonials from instructors and students that consistently demonstrate the success of our MyLabs.

MyCommunicationLab provides engaging experiences that personalize, stimulate, and measure learning for each student. MyCommunicationLab is available for Introduction to Communication, Interpersonal Communication, Mass Communication, and Public Relations courses. 

• The Pearson eText: Identical in content and design to the printed text, the Pearson eText lets students access their textbook anytime, anywhere, and any way they want — including downloading to an iPad. Students can take notes and highlight, just like a traditional book.
• Assessments: Pre-and Post-Tests for each chapter enables students and instructors to track progress and get immediate feedback. Results from the Pre and Post Tests generate a personalized study plan that helps students master course content. Chapter Exams allow instructors to easily assign exams online. Results feed into the MyLab grade book. 
• MediaShare: A cutting-edge video upload tool that allows students and instructors to upload speeches, video assignments, role plays, or group projects for viewing, commenting and grading (whether face-to-face or online). Grades can be imported into most learning management systems. Structured much like a social networking site, MediaShare can help promote a sense of community amongst students.
• Videos and Video Quizzes: Interactive videos provide students with the opportunity to watch and evaluate multimedia pertaining to chapter content. Many videos are annotated with critical thinking questions or include short, assignable quizzes that report to the instructor’s grade book.
• ClassPrep collects the very best class presentation resources in one convenient online destination, so instructors can keep students engaged throughout every class.
• MyOutline: This valuable tool provides step-by-step guidance and structure for writing an effective outline, along with a detailed help section to assist students in understanding the elements of an outline and how all the pieces fit together. Students can download and email completed outlines to instructors, save for future editing or print — even print as notecards. Instructors can choose from our templates or create their own structure for use. (Available with Introduction to Communication course only).
• MyPersonalityProfile: Online resources that provide students with opportunities to learn about the various communication styles of themselves and others are housed in MyPersonalityProfile, Pearson’s online library for self-assessment and analysis. Instructors can use these tools to show learning and growth over the duration of the course. (Available with Introduction to Communication and Interpersonal Communication courses only).
