The learning science behind MyLab Math

Our strategy for empowering learners starts with a deep understanding of the learning sciences: diverse, transdisciplinary fields that seek to understand how humans learn.

Using insights distilled from the learning sciences, we’ve arrived at a series of learning design principles that guide the creation of our products. These tenets have shaped the design of MyLab Math — and they drive us as we continue to refine MyLab Math to deliver even better learning outcomes.

MyLab Math demonstrates three key learning design principles:

• Supporting learning via scaffolding
• Reducing extraneous cognitive load
• Supporting knowledge retention
