Pearson deserves credit

Sometime ago, I was very frustrated with myreading lab. I think i made a long exhaustive post about my frustrations. Needless today, it's been fixed. The man in charge had emailed me telling me the engineering team were working on it and it should take about 2 weeks.

I'm quite surprised at how they listened to one person fuss to make changes to their product. Most companies don't listen to hundreds of customers, let alone a single voice. I'm amazed at how the man was willing to help me when i posted on their facebook wall and communicated with me in the process about where they were and so on. I started out thinking myreadinglab was geared towards colleges and teachers but i have to say it's very independent friendly now and they do listen to their independent customers regardless of who you are.

I also like how Pearson works to improve their product. For example, when i was taking the fundamental course last year, the animation player was differnt. It has been improved. Also, there are more practice sets and more tests available for the courses. The advance course now has the lexile diagnostic. The others may have it but i'd already started those before the change so i can't tell.

That said, i finished the combined skills section in the fundermental course today, took the test for the contrast organization order module and i'll go back to reading implied main idea and outlining but first i just want to get done with this inference module. i've been working on it for a week. But i have my sanity back now. So onto work it is.

Final word is I HIGHLY recommend myreadiglab. If i said anything else prior, it was because i was frustrated with the test buttons vanishing and not being able to take the test. The program itself works! I'm still not sure how reading these little interesting passages on there increased my comprehension. Maybe it's the practice, maybe it's the strategies they teach. True but it's just amazing that when i transfer over to reading passages for standardized tests, i know the main idea and figure things out. it's amazing how my reading comprehension has increased. It really IS amazing!
