MyLab Statistics Tour Video Transcript

This is a transcript of the video on the Educator Features page and Student Features page.

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

MyLab Statistics brings all your course materials into one, easy to navigate, integrated homework, tutorial and assessment tool. Powerful tools have been integrated features to make teaching and learning statistics as seamless and intuitive as possible.

Today, statistical software plays an important role in teaching statistics. It can be a challenge to integrate software into the course when so many programs are costly and require students to access them on one specific computer. But with StatCrunch...

Students can access this web-based application anywhere they have an internet connection - including mobile devices. This analysis tool makes it easy for them to quickly analyze text or exercise data sets. Users also have access to StatCrunch.com - a vibrant online community where users can access tens of thousands of shared data sets, create and conduct online surveys, perform complex analyses using the powerful statistical software, and generate compelling reports.

There are only so many hours in the day. It's hard to find time to teach all the statistical concepts, and on top of that, students need to know how to use the statistical software. So with Statistical Software Support provided by MyLab Statistics...

Students can access the help they need when they need it. They can copy data sets from their eText or MyLab Statistics exercises, directly into software such as StatCrunch, Minitab, or Excel. Tutorial Videos are accessible at the point-of-use within exercises, and software study cards are available as PDFs in Tools for Success.

Next, the most critical ideas in statistics, and the ones that students struggle with most, can be the ones that are impossible to convey with chalk on a blackboard or in a lecture. Yet, with Real-World Statistics Videos...

Instructors can bring these concepts to life and help students grasp why understanding data is an important life skill. MyLab Statistics includes a popular StatTalk video series, which includes 24 statistical concepts that are applied to daily life. For Business Statistics courses, the Business Insight videos show how managers at major companies use statistics to make business decisions.

Many instructors are looking for ways to foster a more engaging classroom experience. Some want to flip their classroom while many others are just looking for ways to increase student participation.

Learning Catalytics is an interactive, student response tool that uses students' smartphones, tablets, or laptops to engage them in more sophisticated tasks and thinking. You can pose a variety of open-ended questions that help your students develop critical thinking skills, while monitoring responses to find out where they're struggling, allowing you to adjust your instructional strategy in real-time. You can also use Learning Catalytics to automatically group students for peer-to-peer learning. Plus their work in Learning Catalytics feeds into the Mastering gradebook.

Not every student learns the same way and at the same rate. And now, thanks to advances in adaptive learning technology, you no longer have to teach as if they do. Mastering uses real time data and analytics, to reinforce concepts that target each student's strengths and weaknesses.

The Adaptive Study Plan is each student's personal roadmap to the course. It tailors learning material to meet the unique needs of each student, and it's powered by a sophisticated adaptive learning engine. Here's how it works.

The adaptive learning engine monitors student performance on homework, quizzes, and tests. Throughout the course, it gives personalized recommendations to keep each student on track. Each new assignment builds on the results of past assignments. This personalized feedback ensures that students are understanding and mastering all the important concepts. Each student receives the best and most appropriate content at just the right time to help your whole class be more successful in your course.

Finally, it can be time-consuming to monitor progress and refine instruction given various learners’ needs. Though with Reporting Dashboard...

Rich analytics enable educators to assess student understanding in real time, and adjust lectures and assignments accordingly. The online gradebook tracks students' results on tests, homework, and practice exercises. The Reporting Dashboard presents student performance data at class, section, and program levels in an accessible, visual manner.

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