MyReadingLab Enhancements
Summer 2013
As is the case with any good technology, MyReadingLab is improving every day. The Pearson Media
Team is committed to providing high-quality features and content to help instructors teach and students learn. The changes listed below are the result of the feedback we've received from our users—
instructors and students alike. Thank you for being part of our team!
The following enhancements will be available in newly created MyReadingLab courses for fall courses:
Ability to Reorder Modules and Topics
Instructors will now have the ability to control the order that modules and topics appear on a student’s
Learning Path and on the Extra Practice page. (The updated order is also displayed in the Gradebook
View Mastery Status page.)
Gradebook Changes
 The Gradebook Learning Path Summary page displays each student’s Overall Score for the selected
content area, as well as the last login date.
 Completed Work for all content areas (including Reading Level) now has two views: “Completed
Work” and “All Assignments.” “Completed Work” view displays data for all completed work done
within the content area currently being viewed. “All Assignments” shows the list of completed assignments and assignments not yet completed, one module at a time.
 Two new columns added for the Reading Level content area provides greater detail about the readings completed. One column indicates the Lexile Level of the reading passage level and the other
lists the reading passage’s subject.
 Instructors can now add password protection and IP restrictions to the Lexile Locator assessment.
 Alert notifications have been added to the front page of the Gradebook so that the instructors do
not have to click into the Alerts page to see if they have any alerts. (Each alert type now shows the
number of alerts for the current content area.)
New “Player” Support for Mobile Devices
A new HTML5 Player (a.k.a., Flashless Player), using HTML5 and JavaScript framework, supports mobile devices such as the iPadTM. It will be available for use on mobile devices only. Users accessing the
site from a laptop or desktop will still use the existing Flash player.
Importing/Deleting Previous Results
Instructors now have the option to import student results automatically from a previous course that
uses the same book. They can also specify a date and import only results from that date forward. Instructors can also delete all results from a student in batch mode, rather than one assignment at a
time.

MyReadingLab Enhancements
Summer 2013
New Course Home
Course Home has been completely redesigned to provide students with a clearer picture of what they
should be doing next. It now shows a list of assignments due in the coming week and a month view of
the calendar, as well as the current Learning Path progress bars. Students can also navigate to a separate month view showing either a list of assignments, or a full size calendar. Instructors can control
which views are available to students through settings on the Course Home Manager.
Requiring Student-Entered IDs
A new option on the Add/Edit Student IDs page allows instructors to require students to enter an ID
before they can work in the course.
