- The Pearson eText: Identical incontent and design to the printed text, the Pearson eText lets students access their textbook anytime, anywhere, and any way they want — including downloading to an iPad. Students can take notes and highlight, just like a traditional book.
- MediaShare: A cutting-edge video upload tool that allows students to upload speeches, for instructors and classmates to watch (whether face-to-face or online) and provide online feedback and comments. Customizable rubrics can be attached for further evaluation and grading purposes. Grades can be imported into most learning management systems. Structured much like a social networking site, MediaShare can help promote a sense of community amongst students.
- MyOutline: This valuable tool provides step-by-step guidance and structure for writing an effective outline, along with a detailed help section to assist students in understanding the elements of an outline and how all the pieces fit together. Students can download and email completed outlines to instructors, save for future editing or print — even print as note cards. Instructors can choose from our templates or create their own structure for use.
- Videos and Video Quizzes: Interactive videos provide students with the opportunity to watch and evaluate sample speeches, both student and professional. Many videos are annotated with critical thinking questions or include short, assignable quizzes that report to the instructor’s grade book. Professional speeches include classic and contemporary speeches, as well as video segments from communication experts.
- Self-Assessments: Online self assessments including the PRCA-24 and the PRPSA, as well as Pre- and Post-tests for each chapter provide students with opportunities to assess and confirm their comfort level with speaking publicly, and their knowledge of the material in the course. The tests generate a personalized study plan for further assessment and focus students on areas in which they need to improve. Instructors can use these tools to show learning over the duration of the course.
- ClassPrep collects the very best class presentation resources in one convenient online destination, so instructors can keep students engaged throughout every class.
MySpeechLab comes from a trusted partner with educational expertise and a deep commitment to helping students, instructors, and departments achieve their goals.
