MyLab & Mastering Mobile Dashboard

Mastering course Activity is listed chronologically is grouped (newest to oldest) under these headings: Tomorrow, Today, Yesterday, future dates [scroll up] and prior dates [scroll down].

If a student has any overdue assignments, an alert appears when the student first signs in to the app. Clicking View displays only the overdue assignments.

Note: Offline Activities and Learning Catalytics modules are not listed with Assignments in the app; but if you have added their scores to the Mastering Gradebook, these grades do appear with Scores in the app.

Each listing includes the name of the Pearson course, along with the following information for the different kinds of activities listed:

• Announcements: The same announcements that appear in their Course Home in Mastering. These are the announcements you post using the Mastering Announcements feature (including formatting and links you include). If the subject and text of the announcement are longer than the allotted space on a student's mobile device, the student can tap the announcement to read the full subject and text.
  

• Assignments: All assignments that are currently available to students are listed with the assignment title; the student's status of Completed, Not Started, or Exempt; and the due date. If the title is longer than the allotted space on a student's mobile device, the student can tap the assignment to see the full title, along with other information, if applicable:

  • Lock icon, if the assignment is password-protected
  • Time limit, if the assignment has a time limit

• Scores: Title of the assignment, status (Complete), and score. If the score displays any of the following differences, the student can tap the score to see details that explain:

  • An asterisk and a note explaining that this is a partial score means the assignment contains an essay item that is only provisionally graded. The final score appears when you (the instructor) finalize the essay grade in Mastering.
  • An asterisk and a note explaining that the score is not available means that you (the instructor) have used Mastering security settings to prevent students from seeing their scores currently or ever for this assignment.

  You might want to remind students who use the app that they can see more details about their scores on the Mastering Scores page.
  

Mastering course Files are listed under Documents or Media. These are files that you have recorded or uploaded using the Course Materials feature and are supported by the student's device.

Each listing includes the name of the Pearson course, the title of the document or media file, and an icon indicating the kind of file. Students can download document files for viewing offline, and can stream media files.

Notes:

• Before students can use this feature in the app, they must have first clicked View Documents or View Lectures once on the Mastering Course Home on a computer.
• Files are available for Mastering courses, but not for all Pearson courses.

If students used the same username and password to register for multiple courses, activities for all those courses are automatically listed together, and students can filter to view only one course at a time.

If students have used a different Pearson account (different username) to register for other courses, they have the option of combining those course activities into the same list by adding another profile in the app. That way they can sign in once to see activities for all their supported Pearson Ed courses.

Initially, activities for all courses are displayed in one list. To see each course's activities listed separately, students can swipe left or right. Dots on the course indicator bar show movement from one course to a different course.

All dates reflect the time zone established for the course. If students are using the app in other time zones, they should be aware of when the course's Tomorrow, Today, and Yesterday begin and end.
