Student Comment Requiring My Psych Lab was much better than requiring students to purchase merely a textbook, as it facilitates learning, not just memorization. Even though I'm generally a crammer by nature, it still helped a lot, and I imagine it helped a lot of other students even more. (Spring 2005)

Overview  Challenge of teaching large classes  Why add technology  Effect of technology on performance  My Lab Product Information  Developing a My Lab course  How My Psych Lab is being used  Student Satisfaction and comments

Large Classroom Effects  A sea of faces  A large room  Distance from students  How do you connect?  How do you motivate?  How do you help with learning?

Teacher or Actor?  Must we entertain students in large classes?  How can we establish an environment for learning?  What resources can we bring to bare to improve learning in high failure courses?

Why Use Technology  gets students involved with the material.  improves performance on classroom exams.  provides additional venues to assess learning and understanding.  motivates students.  increases student – faculty interaction.  there is an implementation curve before it can be used effectively

Student Satisfaction Percent Responding Strongly Agree/Agree Overall MPL was a beneficial addition to this class 91.8% Using MPL helped me understand more of the material presented in this class 90.6% The variety of activities available in MPL made the material more interesting 82.3% The chapter Exams were beneficial 76.5%

Student Comment Overall, I thought that My Psych Lab was very helpful. It was the main tool that I used to study for our exams. When I did not do well on a certain area, it clearly showed me the things that I needed to work on. All of the practice tests really helped me to narrow down what I needed to study for the test. I am very glad that we were able to use My Psych Lab as a tool in this class. (Fall 2005)

Student Comment I really enjoyed using My Psych Lab. The program was very beneficial to me and it really helped me to learn the material for the test. It also helped with my understanding of each unit and presented information that I did not understand in a new way. I wish that every class had a program like this one, it was very helpful in many different ways. (Fall 2005)

Student Comment Each time I used My Psych Lab my grade improved. It was obvious what chapters I studied for using the program and which ones I did not. My Psych Lab was a very beneficial and key element to helping me to understand this class. (Fall 2005)
