MindTap™ Coding Labs
MindTap™ Coding Labs offer hands-on coding experience for Java™, C++, Python™, and now HTML5 &
CSS3 in an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that is embedded into the MindTap™ Learning
Path that allows students to build their confidence with writing and running code. These labs provide:
• Coding assignments mapped to each chapter of the text
• A custom-made IDE that doesn’t require any installation or plugins. Our IDE is designed to work with a
simplistic interface so students can focus on learning to code, not how to work within a new IDE
• Point-of-need support from auto-graded feedback
• Codey, your students’ personal coding assistant, a Chabot who can analyze code for bugs and issues,
explain coding terms and concepts, and score output based on the assignment instructions
MindTap™ Virtual Machine Labs
Virtual Machine Labs integrated into the MindTap™ Learning Path
expose students to real hardware and software labs that not only
develop their hands-on skills, but help them contextualize theory-based
concepts more easily. Students follow detailed lab guides located on
the same screen to work on their labs. These labs:
• Require no installation, allowing students to work directly with live
servers and networking hardware from their web browser
• Provide students with a live working environment via the Cloud, with
real servers and networks that they can explore, fail, and try again until
they succeed
• Were built by Practice Labs, a company who build simulations to retrain
professionals in the IT field
• Are available now for CompTIA
®
A+, Network+, Security+, and Linux+
courses, Microsoft

Windows
®
Server, and Computer Forensics and
Investigations courses
MindTap™ Lab Simulations
MindTap™ Lab Simulations offer a simulated environment for
students to practice newly learned tasks and concepts from
the book. These labs are not fully explorable, instead, students
are guided through the steps for solving each problem and are
notified when they make an incorrect attempt. Challenge Mode
offers less instruction and can be used as a quiz grade.
• “Show Me” option in Practice mode will present a video tutorial
of how to complete the current task
• “Challenge Mode” offers students little instruction and can be used as a quiz grade
• Teachers can pull detailed lab reports that detail their results for each concept and how
many attempts it took the student to complete each task.
MindTap™ IQ App
The MindTap™ IQ App is used for course areas where students commonly take
certification exams. IQ allows instructors to create custom certification practice exams
based on specific competencies so students will feel confident that they will pass the
exam and be one step closer to a future career.
