Can I access my homework, tests, study plan, and gradebook without logging into CourseCompass?
Yes, you can log in at http://www.myeconlab.com/intlogin. You will not be able to take advantage of any of the CourseCompass features when you log in through this URL. Students logging in through this URL will be able to access homework, tests, and their Study Plan, and instructors will be able to access their gradebook and post or edit assignments.
I have registered already. How do I create my course?
Log in to CourseCompass. Select "Create or Copy a Course." Type "MyEconLab" in the search box and then click "Search". When you have identified the course for your text, click "Select Course Materials" and follow the instructions on the screen.
I am already a CourseCompass user. Do I need to register for MyEconLab too?
No. Your current login name and password for CourseCompass allow you to access any MyEconLab course found in our catalog. Simply follow the instructions above for copying a MyEconLab course.
I have created my course. How will my students register for it?
After course creation is complete, click "Adopt" to indicate that you intend to use this course. You will receive a Course ID number that is specific to your course. Your students MUST have this Course ID in order to access MyEconLab. Please distribute the Course ID to your students. Then, the students should follow the instructions provided in their Student Access Kits to register themselves.
Can students access MyEconLab without purchasing a Pearson Education Canada text?
Yes, students can purchase a MyEconLab Student Access Kit through their bookstore if their instructor adopts it. The ISBNs for the Student Access Kits can be found on the catalog page for the specific book. Visit http://vig.pearsoned.ca for more information.
If a student purchases a used book, will they have access to MyEconLab for that title?
Students who purchase a used book do not automatically have access to MyEconLab. However, they can purchase access to MyEconLab by purchasing a MyEconLab Student Access Kit through their campus bookstore. The ISBNs for the Student Access Kits can be found on the catalogue page for the specific book. Visit http://vig.pearsoned.ca for more information.
Are alternate Web resources available for me?
All textbooks have a free Companion Website which contains review material for students such as links, flashcards, and quizzes. In addition, some Companion Websites also have password-protected sections which include the eText and some other features of MyEconLab.
A Course ID is not required for the Companion Website. To reach the Companion Website, visit the registration page for your textbook and select to register and/or log in without a Course ID. Access codes for protected Companion Websites are distributed with all new copies of relevant Pearson Education Canada textbooks. These may be printed on cards and bound into the text or included along with the MyEconLab access code card and packaged seperately.
Additionally, some titles also have BlackBoard and/or WebCT cartridges available. Instructors should check our online catalog to find out which options are available for each title.
Where can I learn more about using CourseCompass?
You can visit the CourseCompass Support page or download the MyEconLab Instructor's Quick Start Guide (3.6MB PDF file).
Where do I get the browser plug-ins that I need for my course?
All MyEconLab users need to install certain browser plug-ins depending on which course they are using. To find out which plug-ins you need for your course, click "Installation Wizard" in your course or visit the main Installation Wizard page.
