McGraw-Hill Connect

Overview

McGraw-Hill Connect provides instructors course management tools to build and deliver courses in a personalized manner. The service offers features like SmartBook 2.0 that creates cycles of questions of no more than five concepts at the time; making it easier for students to absorb information. Via its ReadAnywhere feature, Connect also allows students to download, take notes, and complete SmartBook 2.0 assignments without being connected to the internet. The assignment reports help instructors to have a more wholistic view of the class performance, by looking at time spent on assignments and highlighting the most challenging concepts. Existing as a web-based platform, Connect ensures that the students' progress is automatically synchorinized accross devices, making it easier for students to pick up where they left off independent of the device they are using. 

McGraw Hill Connect now supports single sign-on (SSO), assignment-level linking, and gradebook sync. The setup is simplified for students and faculty, and there are additional grade syncing features that allow automatic ‘0’ after due date and re-sync at student and assignment level.
