[NABS-L] Using mymathlab.com or pearson.com

[Sidney Horn]

Hi Selene!
I have so far just used it with JAWS, but thanks for telling me about your experience with voice-over.
I love how it walks you through step by step on how to solve the problems if you get it right.
What college do you attend?
And thank you so much! Good luck to you as well! What are you majoring in?
Sidney

Hi Sidney,
Yes, I have used MyMathLab/Pearson in a previous stats course.It was incredibly accessible with voiceover on Mac. It takes some time to get the hang of all the features and how to enter values into the text fields, but it’s fairly straightforward. As long as your professor allows for it, you can re-attempt questions if you mistyped something or you just didn’t understand. I find the example problems really useful for how to solve problems and how the answers should be entered because you know math. If it’s not entered correctly, you got it wrong.
The graphs also have alt descriptions, which is really nice. The drop-down/list boxes also work well. The only real issue you might run into is if you select the wrong answer from the drop-down it’s not easy to change it. I usually logged out of the assignment and went back to change my answers, which is annoying but no Platform is perfect. There were a few questions where there were no descriptions for the images, but I was able to get assistance with those by simply asking.
Feel free to reply if you have any other questions about my experience with Pearson.
Best of luck with your classes and college life in general 🌷

Hey all,
Question for you all! Have you ever had to use mymathlab.com<http://mymathlab.com> or pearson.com<http://pearson.com>? I recently just started a math class and just started learning how to use the accessibility features on it. This is for my general education math 104 class. It started on Tuesday.
I brought it to my assistive technology teacher's attention real quick on the first day that I was feeling really doubtful and anxious because at first, the website would not work with JAWS screen reader. Later on that day, her and I sat down, and apparently, she had a whole accessibility guide on it. She sent it to me, which thank goodness, because now, I am able to use the website!!!
Do any of you use it with voice-over, or just JAWS? I'm just curious. :-)
