We are pleased to announce the return of our Learning Matters programme!
At McGraw Hill, our vision is to unlock the full potential of each learner and our mission is to accelerate learning.
We achieve this by partnering with institutions to create and deliver intuitive, engaging, efficient, and effective learning experiences. Our Learning Matters programme has been created to widen the availability and accessibility for all students and educators that want to partner with us to fulfil this mission.

How can the grant help you? Hear from past recipients
We spoke to James Mshelia, Senior Lecturer in International Business at the University of Northampton and previous grant recipient. He explains how using the grant for Connect has positively impacted his students and teaching.
“I insist on using Connect for my modules. It enhances student learning and helps them to understand the topic. There are lots of different questions and exercises inside Connect that help me to target the learning at the right level for students. This helps to build their confidence. I can check the engagement of my students easily. The engagement report colour-codes my students and allows me to identify those who need more support.”
As well as students benefiting from adaptive learning activities, James now saves time preparing his modules.
“I can enhance my teaching with all these resources and save a huge amount of time in preparation. What might have taken me 3 hours plus to prepare a lecture before can be done in under an hour with Connect,” he says.
What’s more, Connect comes with full support at every step. Our Implementation & Support team is on hand to help you whenever you need them:
“The support we’ve had has been awesome. We went step-by-step and always had the ability to talk with my McGraw Hill Consultant team to get help.”

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
