What Students are Saying:

General:

"I learned how to build a spreadsheet and showed my dad how to work it. Now, he uses spreadsheets on our farm for everything."

"I use Word and Excel a lot in my job. myitlab taught me things that save me time at work. Thank you!"

"I loved the simulator. I thought it was really fun and really helpful. I give it a 10."

"I learned much more about Word and Excel than I thought was possible—and everything about Access, since I had never used it before. I thought I was proficient in Word and Excel, but, boy, was I wrong! I already use or plan to use all of the programs outside of school, so knowing more about them is very helpful."

"I liked using myitlab. I learned more than I would have if we only read the book without using the program."

"It’s been 20 years since I’ve taken a computer course. Thanks to the trainings in myitlab and the instructor’s patience, I have completed the course with some very important skills."

“Almost anyone could learn how to use this program without training.”

“The login is easy for even the most novice computer user.”

“The new Word experience was a delight. I had no problem executing the problems. Great job!”

“[Inside exams,] everything was labeled well, so that I did not have to guess which button took me where I wanted to go.”

“The questions are very clear what you had to do. myitlab is a very helpful program.”

“I especially like the multiple attempts and the clock countdown. The countdown gives myitlab somewhat of a gaming feel and challenged me to beat the clock.”

“myitlab teaches the necessities and is very helpful. It teaches a lot in a short amount of time.”

Training:

"Before enrolling in MSIS 2103, I had never used Excel or Access — I could manage Microsoft Word, but was no whiz. When I started doing the myitlab assignments, I realized how simple the programs were. I found the assignments interesting, and, in fact, all of my labs are completed because I was eager to figure them out."

“The training window is another feature I like because it is not distracting to the user. The colors are neutral and do not pull the attention of the user in a specific direction and allows them to focus on the task at hand.”

“In training, the “Show Me” button was very helpful. The option of trying it alone after the example made the difference.”

“I like the ease of moving within screens. I think the training window was excellent.”

“There are many features available in training that are convenient. The ability to change font sizes made the questions easier to read.”

“I like the hands-on training in myitlab. It works well with the book.”

“myitlab lets you know when you’re doing something wrong. Gives you a hint or 'show me' when you’re having trouble with a concept. It’s very specific in everything it tells you to do.”

“It shows you training on how to actually do the work…it gives you hints, and it lets you know you are doing stuff wrong.”

“It is a way to practice and know if you are doing the task correctly. It is nice how it will show you how to do something if you are unsure. I like that it provides immediate fe

“The steps are simple to follow, the directions are clear, and the hints are helpful.”

“It makes sure that you know all the commands and helps you if you don’t, and helps you locate them if needed.”

“The training exercises are extremely useful and help me use Office 2007 more accurately. It helps me understand what all the buttons and operations are that can be performed in Office 2007.”

“I like the graphics and the hint button. The directions are very clear and understandable.”

The Gradebook:

“What did stand out was the grade book! Being able to access my grades and receive feedback immediately makes the results seem more relevant. It also enables me to see what I need to work on.”

“After I took the training sessions, I could easily find my grade and my own answers to the questions. The grade book was very easy to navigate in.”

“myitlab helps keep you on track of what you need and what is going on. You’re able to see your grades at all times (at the professor’s discretion) so you keep trying.”
