from [log in to unmask] : We use Pearson's MySpanishLab with Atando Cabos and we
don't like it.  We
plan to switch to QUIA in the fall...

This tirade against MySpanishLab worried me because our first-year Spanish
courses switched to !Anda! with a heavy MySpanishLab component last Fall. I
forwarded the email to our  program director and she said that so far the
students are enjoying the online interface. I just saw a bit of it at the
beginning of the semester, when we were setting up orientations. There were some
technological problems but the Pearson folks did seem to be aware that it was a
new program, and they were responsive to the need for fixes.
