== Features ==
Pearson’s ''MyMathLab'' consists of several features that aid instructors and students. The homework and practice exercises take advantage of an algorithm to generate problems, so students can have limitless options to practice problems.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com/northamerica/mymathlab/students/features/index.html|title=Students, Learn About MyLab Math|last=Pearson|website=www.pearsonmylabandmastering.com|language=en|access-date=2018-02-27}}</ref> Another core feature of ''MyMathLab'' is the eText book. The eText book can be viewed through a traditional computer or a mobile tablet. The eText itself has features such as: highlighting text, adding links, bookmark pages, and pin notes.<ref name=":0" /> The gradebook feature of ''MyMathLab'' helps both instructors and students keep track of progress within the course, and shows students which concepts they have yet to master.
== Controversy ==
[[Los Angeles City College]] was sued by two blind students for discrimination under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The complaints included that one of the students was required to take a mathematics course using MyMathLab to complete homework assignments and that MyMathLab was inaccessible using screen reading software.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Jaschik|first=Scott|title=Court ruling makes it easier to win disability discrimination cases|url=https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2021/08/25/court-ruling-makes-it-easier-win-disability-discrimination-cases|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210825181513/https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2021/08/25/court-ruling-makes-it-easier-win-disability-discrimination-cases|archive-date=2021-08-25|access-date=2021-08-25|website=Inside Higher Ed|language=en}}</ref>
