Writing & Research > Exchange	Commenting. In the composing space, students can view instructor, peer, and tutor comments about their work. This feature allows students to pull together all of the feedback they'll need to produce better writing. It makes it easier to create and manage peer review groups, and the intuitive commenting functionality of the new MyLiteratureLab saves instructors significant time by allowing them to insert favorite comments and common errors. It also allows instructors to create personalized study plans for students by linking to topics in the Resource area from the student's own writing. Exchange did not connect students directly to the wide array of resources for help and remediation.
Writing & Research > Avoiding Plagiarism	Resources>Research>Avoiding Plagiarism
Writing & Research > MySearchLab	The new site no longer has MySearchLab. Instead, help with the research process is covered extensively in the Research Tab in sections called “Writing the Literature Research Paper” and “The Research Assignment.”

Not in current program	“Study Plan.” In the new MyLiteratureLab, instructors and students can create a personalized study plan—a listing of topic areas and exercises a student should complete to improve skills in grammar, writing, and research. The study plan appears in the “Recommendations” part of a student's To Do list. (See below for more information about the To Do section.) A student's study plan is populated in a variety of ways. An instructor can recommend resources based on his or her evaluation of a student's writing. Or, a student can save topics (a) from the Resources section as “Favorites,” or (b) based on the results of one of MyLiteratureLab's diagnostic tests.
Not in current program	Composing space. This dynamic space for composing, editing, and revising includes a "Writer's Toolkit" at the writer's fingertips. Students receive feedback and support within the context of their own writing as they draft new papers and review uploaded documents. Built to look and function like the most popular word processing programs, MyLiteratureLab's composing space is familiar and easy to use for students.
Not in current program	Tutoring. The new MyLiteratureLab offers the Smarthinking paper review service. The link to Smarthinking's tutoring is seamless and tutors make comments directly in the composing space, so students have all comments—instructor, peer, and tutor —in one place.
Not in current program	Portfolio. The new MyLiteratureLab includes portfolio functionality, enabling students to create, store, and manage e-portfolios of their work. Portfolios can contain documents created within MyLiteratureLab, as well as imported documents. Students can create multiple portfolios, specify the order in which documents are presented, decide who has permission to view and comment, and export their portfolios in either PDF or HTML format.
No exact equivalent in current program	To Do. In this section of the new MyLiteratureLab, instructors can create, view, and grade all assignments, and students can access all of their assignments. A student's To Do is his or her virtual study plan, making it simple to manage writing and assignments. In the current MyLiteratureLab, Exchange has a “to do” list, but Exchange is only for peer review. There is no overarching “to do” in the current MyLiteratureLab that lists ALL of the assignments and exercises instructors have asked students to complete. The new MyLiteratureLab offers this!
No exact equivalent in current program	Assignment builder. In the new MyLiteratureLab instructors use easy-to-complete forms to create assignments. There are six assignment types: Composition, Peer Review, Collaboration, Portfolio, Skill-Building, and Diagnostic. In the current MyLiteratureLab, Exchange has an assignment builder, but it only enables the instructor to build peer review assignments.
Not in current program	Gradebook. In the Gradebook, instructors view class assignment and practice results by student, class, or topic. The gradebook includes the grades for assignments completed in MyLiteratureLab's composing space, exercise results from the Resources section (automatically scored by MyLiteratureLab), as well as other grades an instructor chooses to add (e.g., class participation, extra credit assignments).
