Course mapping and delivery
Build the service that's right for you
It starts with us listening
Your academic consultant will identify your needs and the challenges you are trying to solve, and propose the right solutions and content for you and your course.
Content plus approach
We'll work with you to build your course out in Connect, using our understanding of how students learn and supporting you to make the most of the tools available so you get engaged students and better outcomes.
Ongoing support
Your consultant will keep checking back in with you to identify improvements, resolve issues, and take your usage of Connect to increasingly higher levels.
Get personalised peer to peer support
There's nothing like hearing from the horse's mouth.
Many of our long-standing instructor partners are willing to share their experience using Connect in order to help others reap the same benefits and results. We call this our Digital Faculty Consultant programme.
Our DFCs can help with the following, and more:
- Training on how to implement McGraw Hill digital solutions in general or within a selected course area
- Sharing best practices and teaching tips on online learning in-person, over the phone, on email or over Teams/Zoom
- Guidance on how to go about building a digital course, boosting student engagement as well as using monitoring student progress for ongoing success
Student onboarding
Introducing Connect to your students
"If you build it they will come..." If only everything were so simple!
We know that providing students with resources or recommending them does not automatically equate to students accessing and using them. Equally, we know that students who have access to resources from day one of their course do better, and that students who regularly use Connect tend to agree or strongly agree that it helps them achieve better results.
Use the following powerpoint templates to introduce Connect to your new cohorts and lay out your expectations of them at the start of each term.

Student Guides to Using Connect
Connect is designed to be intuitive to use, and young people tend to learn new apps and platforms pretty fast. Nevertheless we understand that students can suffer from platform fatigue when faced with learning too many new systems and we want to remove any barriers to usage.
Deep integration with your LMS means students sometimes don't even realise they are in a different system, but should they require any help getting going with Connect and tips for how to get most out of their access, you can direct them to a range of student support resources.
Using Connect for student engagement
Engaging digital assignments
Drive student engagement with tracked reading, continuous assessment, simulations & application-based activities built into your course as a core part of the structure.
Actionable insight reports
Monitor student engagement with these and their resultant level of understanding so you can identify students at risk and common areas of difficulty to respond accordingly in good time.
Maximise class time
Increase student engagement by outsourcing some of the hard work to the technology - such as teaching the basics and a continuous assessment feedback loop - so you can concentrate on deepening learning and inspiring with your experience in class time.
LMS Integration
Integration Guides
McGraw Hill will work with you to integrate the Connect platform with your institution's existing learning management system to give your students a seamless learning experience and holistic grade tracking for you.

User support
We want to make sure that you and your students are getting the very best out of our content and solutions. You'll find comprehensive 'How to' guidance within the platforms themselves, with walkthrough videos of all of the separate pieces of functionality.
More than that though, our consultants can work with you to explore how you can enhance your programme and pedagogical design using our solutions, drawing on our wide experience of how our instructor partners across the world have deployed them for maximum success. We can help take you from using technology as a bolt-on or 'nice to have' to using technology as a core part of gold-standard hybrid learning that gives you and your students the best of both worlds.
From the first time you use Connect, through to the reports that you access from your student’s assignments, we are here to support you 100% of the way. What you can find out from talking with us:
- Course design & set up
- Instructor training with Connect
- First day of class support
- Ongoing support throughout the semester
- LMS integration
- Assignment configuration
- Copying your course
- and more
What makes our support stand out?
We are fully dedicated to your journey in education and the difference that you can make. This is because we believe that there is no job more important and valuable than being an educator.
In your return to university for the new semester, we want to ensure that you know how to welcome your students into a new digital classroom.
