More than 1.2 million students and professors nationwide are now using McGraw-Hill Connect - an advanced all-digital teaching and learning exchange for higher education.Customize Instruction, And Engage Online
Since the online platform was introduced last fall, colleges and universities across the country have embraced this 21st century learning tool, which enables professors to easily customize instruction and allows students to master content and succeed in courses.
With Connect, students are now engaged with course content outside
the classroom - from wherever they are and from whichever device they
use to access the Internet. In fact, a recent survey of Connect users
shows that more than 90 percent of students access Connect frequently
at home or in their dorm rooms, helping them remain engaged with class
content throughout the day, week and semester.
With this increased access to course content, nearly 3/4ths of the students using Connect feel better prepared for exams and assignments, according to a McGraw-Hill research study.
"Connect is an extremely effective and powerful tool for 21st
century teaching and learning," said Ed Stanford, president,
McGraw-Hill Higher Education. "We're very pleased that Connect is
yielding excellent results in college classrooms across the country,
enhancing faculty productivity and driving greater student achievement."
Instructors and students cite key benefits of Connect:
- quality of content,
- ease of use,
- integration with text,
- the ability to reinforce classroom material
24-7
Of the professors surveyed by
McGraw-Hill, 80 percent stated that they are using Connect to improve
student learning and retention.
Surveyed students said that Connect helps
- reinforce classroom
concepts through practice tests and quizzes,
- prepare them for success
on assignments and exams,
- master course content.
"Connect is a great product, and now I cannot imagine teaching my class without it. My students like the feedback and the practice they get from doing the homework," said Jerri Buiting, Professor of Marketing at Baker College in Flint, Mich. "Connect really helps keep my students engaged."
