MyHealthLab Features and Benefits

Pearson eText

Students can no longer say they forgot their text at home. Students can access the text through MyHealthLab whenever and wherever they have access to the Internet. Pearson eText pages look exactly like the printed text, offering powerful new functionality for students. Users can create notes, highlight text in different colours, create bookmarks, zoom, click hyperlinked URLs and icons to view websites, assessments, and other items, and view in single-page or two-page view. In addition, Pearson eText offers a full-text search and the ability to save and export notes.

Resources

• Looking for ways to get students to take the material they learn in class and apply it to their own lives? MyHealthLab offers a section called Getting Fit to help jumpstart your students’ behaviour. Students can access more than 30 assessments from the book and guided worksheets. This area includes all the resources they need to plan for change and successfully commit to a behaviour change contract. Supplied with online journals, students can log their behaviour as they implement change; a reflection piece aids in their own final evaluation.
• Students get the visual aids they need and want in CBC and ABC Video Segments. Health and wellness topics come alive in these CBC and ABC News Video Segments. Featuring a series of topics from nutrition and stress management to substance abuse, these videos help stimulate student learning and show relevance to the real world.
• An interactive flashcard feature allows students to build a deck of flashcards from the key terms in every chapter, review them online, print them, as well as export them to their desktop and even their mobile phones.
