Hi, I'm here to talk to you about some of the exciting features you'll find in MyLab Culinary.

Designed specifically for introduction to cooking, food preparation, baking, and garde manger students and instructors, MyLab Culinary uses adaptive learning technologies that provide a personalized study experience for students, while supporting instructors with valuable data about the strengths and weaknesses of each student.

Starting us off, chefs know they can never have enough recipes! Being able to work with recipes in the books you are using is great, but being able to edit existing recipes or having students exposed to other recipes would be wonderful - if it could be done easily. So with Pearson Kitchen Manager...

Culinary Students and Chefs have access to a vast collection of over 4 500 recipes tested in the kitchens of top culinary schools. Powered by an extensive ingredient database, Pearson Kitchen Manager allows users to simply perform tasks such as recipe scaling, recipe costing, recipe conversion, and other essential applications. It allows Chefs to maximize the value of their recipe content.

Next, students are busy, many are working part or full-time as well as going to school, and finding the time to study can be difficult. They often come to class with varying levels of preparedness. But with Dynamic Study Modules...

There is a better way to learn. Dynamic Study Modules real time assessments and remediation help students master the content in less than half the time of traditional approaches. Comprehensive reporting helps instructors identify where the class and individual students are struggling and tailor their lecture.

Also designed to help students come to class prepared, Learning Modules...

Provide students with a scaffolded learning path via self-guided tutorials. Learning Modules feature integrated chapter content, Video Demonstrations, and Knowledge Check questions to prepare students for the kitchen.

Continuing on, instructors find creating grading rubrics from scratch both consuming and challenging. Students often don’t know how proficient they are at some of the key techniques they need to master in the course. With customizable Grading Rubrics...

Instructors have a convenient and objective way to grade key skills in an easy and measurable way. Grading rubrics help students identify where they are with a given set of skills and where they can improve.

Next, The demands on instructors' time, both in the lecture and in the lab, can seem endless! Factoring in different levels of student preparedness also can make it challenging to move all the students along at the same pace. Yet, with Videos and Video Demonstrations...

Students have access to 150 demonstrations that walk them through the proper techniques they'll need to succeed. These videos allow them to review demonstrations on their own, as often as they would like or need.

Finally, students often come to class with varying levels of math skills that are important to success in the kitchen. Yet, applying math concepts can be tough for students. They often need additional support and practice to master these skills. In the new MyLab Culinary for On Baking, Update, new Problem Sets...

Help students practice essential baking-related math skills outside of class, allowing instructors more time in class to cover course content rather than math review.

And there you have it. That was a quick look at just a handful of the valuable features in MyLab Culinary. If you want to learn more about MyLab Culinary, go to MyLab Culinary.com.
