• What is MyLab

  MyLab is a tool for formative assessment and administration of student work. One or more teachers can organize tasks and assignments for pre-determined groups or classes. The tool enables safe and easy communication between teachers and students, both at the individual and class level.

  MyLab has an intuitive user interface that shows all communication between teacher and student, gives an overview of tasks and is easy to use.

• How do I use MyLab?

  As a teacher in MyLab you create groups to which you then invite your students. You can also create groups at the class level by integrating data from Feide/the school’s SSO.

  You decide the name of the group and who will be invited to join. You can invite students as well as colleagues.

  Inside a group, you can communicate with your students, hand out assignments, and assess the work your students are handing in.
