Instructors
Bill Highley, C.M.
HVAC Coordinator
Columbus State Community College
• "I have seen at least a letter grade improvement between the students who use MyHVACLab versus the students who decide not to try it."
• "I use quite a bit of MyHVACLab. The image bank, the videos, the animations and the test generating tools save me a lot of time."
• "The simulations are great. We'll work through them in class after a lecture as it really helps to reinforce the material."
• "In the advanced courses, instructors are seeing that they do not have to do as much review with students that used MyHVACLab since the beginning. Students are ready to jump right in and that's a great thing!"
• "The students love MyHVACLab and instructors are ecstatic. It makes it easier to keep track of everything."
Keith Klix
Instructor, Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Technology
Texas State Technical College
• "When students do their homework online, they receive instant feedback with correct and incorrect answers. Now, I can narrow down a portion of class and ask about specific questions they still may not understand."
• "Students can go back into the chapters if they do not completely understand the content. I don't have to go through 25 questions now, just 2 or 3. It makes my class much more efficient and saves me time."
• "Students are better prepared to move on to upper level classes. We can be more focused and spend less time reviewing basic content."
Ricky Henson
Advisor, Air Conditioning Technology
Southern Crescent Technical School
• "Some of my adult students were apprehensive about using computers for the first time. With MyHVACLab, these students are logging in, looking at the material, and navigating the program by themselves. It's a great way for students to learn how to use a computer."
• "The interactive lessons are a great thing—it gives students an opportunity to read PowerPoints and complete the work independently. They're in control."
• "With distance learning, MyHVACLab gives the student responsibility for absorbing the material. Since it's online, students can learn whenever they want to."
• "MyHVACLab frees up more time for planning and making improvements to my lesson plans. It makes lessons much more efficient."
Robert Rossell
HVAC Program Director/Team Leader
Pittsburgh Technical Institute
• "I'm a fan of the pre and post-tests. Those are good features to prepare students before and after important exams. Students like it, and it helps them prepare for more complex assignments down the road."
• "One nice thing about MyHVACLab is that it's online and students can refresh their memory about the material when it's convenient. It's a great resource to have the night before an exam."
• "One of the most important aspects is that MyHVACLab helps prepare students for the ICE and NATE exams at the completion of the course."
• "If I didn't use MyHVACLab, it would be much less efficient and take longer than necessary to teach students about the industry."
