MyACCUPLACER//MyLab Foundational Skills combines The College Board’s assessment program with Pearson’s proven online intervention. Students begin with ACCUPLACER diagnostic tests that analyze academic strengths and weaknesses in reading, writing, arithmetic, and/or algebra.
Each MyACCUPLACER//MyLab Foundational Skills course comes pre-loaded with curriculum aligned to the ACCUPLACER diagnostics in reading, writing, arithmetic, and algebra.
With little preparation, teachers, instructors, and staff have exactly what they need to administer a program and help students succeed.
Based on the student’s performance on an ACCUPLACER diagnostic test, MyACCUPLACER//MyLab Foundational Skills generates a personalized Learning Path for each student. The Learning Path indicates the student’s proficiency in each content area within each domain and offers direct links to the specific topics where skill-building is needed, at the exact level he or she needs it. As the student works through his or her Learning Path program and “masters” individual topics, he or she can see improvement through visual icons and progress bars.
Each MyACCUPLACER//MyLab Foundational Skills Learning Path includes competency-based learning “activities” designed to help students build confidence and proficiency in specific skills. Scaffolded items include instructional overviews, tutorials, videos, interactive practice exercises (with instant feedback and step-by-step help), and short Mastery Quizzes to demonstrate proficiency. Students become actively engaged in their own learning processes and break traditional barriers to learning at their own pace.
At all times, students can see their “mastery” progress instantly updated on their personal homepages. In addition, all work is captured in the MyACCUPLACER//MyLab Foundational Skills gradebook for educators, staff, and administrators to easily view and track progress—including overall and individual mastery of modules and topics, time-on-task, and item analysis—or simply review a student’s completed work.
Our comprehensive online reporting capabilities allow for export into common spreadsheet formats to further support the data-driven efforts of institutions, districts, and states.
