MyLab® is the teaching and learning platform that empowers you to reach every student. By combining trusted author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab personalizes the learning experience and improves results for each student.
Writing Activities in the Writing Practice Module with Instant Feedback offer an optional, automated evaluation of writing content — before it gets submitted for grading. Electronic scoring provides feedback in 6 areas: Ideas, Organization, Conventions, Fluency, Word Choice, and Voice, as well as a Spelling and Grammar check. The online Writing Advisor offers further suggestions in each area for self-remediation.
For courses where students enter with varying skill levels, MyLab Writing provides unique, targeted skill practice through personalized and adaptive instruction. Starting with a pre-assessment known as the Path Builder, MyLab Writing diagnoses students’ strengths and weaknesses on prerequisite writing skills. The results of this pre-assessment inform each student’s learning path, and provide a personalized pathway for that student to work on requisite skills through contextualized multimodal activities — freeing up more class time for actual writing.
Engage learners of all learning styles! The Multimedia Library provides all of the media resources within the course in one convenient place. Students can filter by Module and by Topic to isolate an area of particular interest.

Writing Practice provides automatically graded writing prompts for use in low stakes assessments. These evaluate a student's writing skills and provide scoring and feedback to both the instructor and student.
MyLab Writing enables you to manage multiple class sections, and lets other instructors copy your settings so a standardized syllabus can be maintained across your department. Should you want to use the same MyLab Writing course next semester, with the same customized settings, you can copy your existing course exactly—and even share it with other faculty members.
No matter how MyLab Writing is used, instructors have access to powerful gradebook reports, which provide insight into course performance at the student, section, or even program level.
