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. MySpanishLab is tricky, fickle, poorly designed and only works on Explorer and Safari. I have had problems with it working on Safari, but not all the time. It does not work on Firefox. I told our Pearson Tech Rep several times and he has gotten similar request from others but he told me that the powers that be insist on Explorer only. I could go on and on about the complaints both from my students and myself as an instructor but I'm short on time. Personally, I think it was designed to please the programmers and not the end user. One of my big complaints about MySpanishLab is that it is extremely tedious and slow to correct and you can't correct question by question. You have to correct student by student. QUIA is much more user friendly and intuitive. The best thing about QUIA is that it is easy to correct. By the way, you can turn the answers off on QUIA by going into Books after you assign and clicking on the Feedback tab. That way students can't cut and paste answers. Good luck. *********************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning (http://iallt.org/), and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://www.languageconsortium.org/).
