<h3>Labyrinth eLab</h3>
<p>This course uses an auto-access textbook and accompanying software through Labyrinth eLab. It is integrated into I-Learn. It requires a separate account/registration. If you are a new or returning instructor, please follow the steps below to ensure an optimal experience with Labyrinth eLab.</p>
<h4>Setup</h4>
<p>Follow this <a class="inline_disabled" href="https://byui-ilearn-instructor.screenstepslive.com/a/1662091-labyrinth-elab-instructor-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instructor guide</a> to help guide you through the Labynth set up process. </p>
<h4>Help</h4>
<p>If you are experiencing technical difficulties please check out the following Labrynth help <a class="inline_disabled" title="Link" href="https://www.labyrinthelab.com/learn_more_instructor.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">guide page</a>.</p>
<p>If you need to request a fix, send a ticket through the "Suggest a Change for the Course" link in the Instructor Resources module. For an emergency fix, such as improper setup of Labyrinth eLab, be sure to notify your OCR who should immediately contact the course designer.</p>
<p>If students report technical difficulties with Labyrinth eLab, take the following action:</p>
<p><a class="inline_disabled" href="https://www.labyrinthelab.com/learn_more_student.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Labrynth student support center </a></p>
<p>If the problem is related to the auto-access setup in your course (like they cannot see the Labyrinth eLab link in the navigation bar of each page of this I-Learn course), send a ticket through the "Suggest a Change for the Course" link and notify your OCR who will contact the course designer. For other technical problems, students should follow instructions in the <a class="inline_disabled" href="https://www.labyrinthelab.com/learn_more_student.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Labyrinth eLab Help page</a>. Notice that students are directed to report the problem to the Labyrinth eLab Technical Support Team, then inform you of the problem and the status. If you receive a report of a problem, message the class and check if others are having the same difficulty. You will not be able to solve the technical problems, but at times, you may need to extend a due date to allow students to finish an assignment.</p>
<h4>Access</h4>
<p>You may access the eLab activities by using the Labyrinth eLab link in any I-Learn page, then selecting the “Log in as instructor” option. To see data about students' participation in the Connect activities, select the “gradebook" tab in the e-lab section. Information is available there regarding participation of the class as a whole and for individual students.</p>
<p>Students access the textbook readings through the link in the Textbook Information module in the course or through the Labyrinth eLab link within any of the Labrynth assignments. Students access Labyrinth assignments using the I-Learn pages where the Labyrinth eLab activities have been “deep linked” (embedded within the I-Learn page).</p>
<h4>Gradebook Integration</h4>
<p>The integration with Labyrinth eLab passes the scores from Labyrinth eLab to the Gradebook. All of the Labyrinth eLab activities selected for this course are entirely auto graded and the scores are transferred to the Gradebook immediately. It is <strong>not</strong> necessary to use the "sync" option (available when you navigate to the Labyrinth eLab link).</p>
<h4>Past Due Assignments</h4>
<p>Check the Gradebook once a week for Labyrinth assignments that are past due and were never started by the student. These Labyrinth scores will be blank in the Gradebook and will need to be manually entered as a zero score by you. Do <strong>not</strong> wait until the end of the semester to change all of these scores to zero, as it is important for students to have an accurate idea of their grade progress throughout the semester.</p>Place the code under the External Resource/Required Registrations.
Click the HTML Editor again and check if the whole page looks good.
It should look like this:
If there are some corrections needed to be done, you can always click "Cancel and restart the editing process or fix it by clicking the HTML editor and make the necessary corrections.
Save your work.

<h2>Instructions</h2>
<p>This course uses a low-cost, auto-access eBook and accompanying McGraw-Hill Connect software. (Auto-access means the textbook and Connect activities are integrated into the I-Learn course). It is accessible the first day of the semester. Your student financial account <strong>will be charged automatically</strong> on the first day of class. To gain access to your textbook and the associated required McGraw-Hill Connect activities, follow the appropriate steps below. Once you have completed these steps, your McGraw-Hill account will be paired with your I-Learn account and you will automatically be passed through to McGraw-Hill materials thereafter.
