Yes, you can use the MathXL Exercise Builder available in most MathXL courses to create your own custom algorithmic exercises, and you can include these exercises on homework assignments, quizzes, and tests.
Your access to your MathXL course is good for three years.
Student subscriptions to MathXL for Basic Mathematics through Pre-Calculus courses are good for 12 months.
For Calculus, Statistics and other courses that make go through two or more semesters, student subscriptions to MathXL are good for 24 months.
No. Students can register to MathXL, log in, and choose their school, and the textbook used in your course to get started on their own. They can take sample tests and tutorials to do self-paced study. If you decide to create online assignments in MathXL, your students can choose your course in the "Instructor/Course" field, and their work will be tracked in your gradebook.
Newer MathXL courses include multimedia (videos, animations, and other helpful learning aids) correlated at the exercise level.
You might recommend to those students that they access the multimedia content for exercises from the school computer lab or library, and then work through quizzes and tutorial exercises from home.
Make sure the computers in any labs where your students will be using MathXL have been set up with the appropriate plug-ins and players.

quote The homework system in MathXL is a fantastic way to facilitate student engagement with the course material in a classroom. I have noticed a distinct improvement in my students overall performance on their written exams. The key to success for math students is practice, practice, practice, and MathXL provides that opportunity through algorithmically generated problems with excellent videos, animations, and textbook references.” quote
