Chose McGraw-Hill Connect
Much of our lecture material comes from McGraw-Hill, so it was an opportunity to marry the learning material to a collaborative system that can make the experience more portable and potentially more affordable for our students. The workings are managed off-site so we do not …
Chose McGraw-Hill Connect
Very similar, both advertised integration with LMS, but is only at surface level. MGH had better core content, but Pearson came with test editor. As far as physical materials, MGH had options for hard coverer textbook or single use student workbook where competitors only …

Chose McGraw-Hill Connect
One of the main reasons why our school chose McGraw-Hill Connect is its reputability and wide-spread popularity of one of its programs (ALEKS) among many mathematics educators. It works well, it connects to our district's Learning Management System, it differentiates, it's …
Chose McGraw-Hill Connect
McGraw-Hill Connect is certainly more robust and easier to use than Pearson systems, and more developed than everyday math.
Chose McGraw-Hill Connect
Integration with Canvas and ease of use are the two strong points for McGraw-Hill Connect. Pearson Revel has many issues at the start of the semester and takes a long time to resolve those. McGraw-Hill Connect has never been down for the start of our semester. MindTap is not …

McGraw-Hill is the most user-friendly and teacher-friendly for students and teachers. McGraw-Hill provided the online portion of learning that helped teachers provide the resources to students that were needed. Additionally, even though McGraw-Hill is wordy in its descriptions …
Chose McGraw-Hill Connect
McGraw-Hill Connect does a great job being user friendly and has relevant tasks and activities for what needs to be taught. Blackboard does a good job being used as a communication and quiz board and Cengage operates based on activities similar to Connect.
Chose McGraw-Hill Connect
I chose McGraw-Hill because of the materials offered (specific texts). I have not compared to other products.

For institutions and students who do not want to own books or engage in a majority of in-class only lecture material. Ideally it makes course material cheaper as digital assets, but some people still prefer the more tangible assets. Participants will like the product if they want a more online learning experience.

Pros
McGraw-Hill Education
  • Integration with Canvas is seamless and easy to use.
  • Assignment completion, for students, is straightforward and easy to use.
  • The SmartBook allows students to read as they are tested with questions and this helps them learn the material easily without having first trying to read, memorize a chapter and then answer questions.

Cons
McGraw-Hill Education
  • The ebook is not a real ebook, it's really just a web page, or a series of webpages. It can only be accessed through MH Connect, therefore, when logging into the system. A real eBook would be able to be accessed as such-- on a Kindle or other e-Reader, or on a desktop eBook reader. The interface for this is also not very dynamic, just kind of obnoxious and Web 1.0.
  • Limited learning tools beyond simple exercises, at least from what I saw.
  • Terrible customer service. Long wait times with representatives who do not seem to understand their own product and cannot seem to answer very basic questions.
  • Hard to get resolution for basic problems.

Usability
McGraw-Hill Education
There is quite a steep learning curve in effectively navigating the site and using the resources. MGH seems to discourage integration with other sites, by only allowing links to their site rather than full assignment integration with grade pass back. Resources for teachers and students is good, but presentation format is different than many other programs, forcing both to learn another system.

Support Rating
McGraw-Hill Education
Personally, I did not encounter McGraw-Hill support. However, I worked with colleagues who needed support and were able to receive in a timely manner. Overall, McGraw Hill Connect is user-friendly (at least from teacher interface) and easy to navigate, which minimizes the need to reach out for support. The help button is useful and provides plenty of immediate support.

McGraw-Hill is the most user-friendly and teacher-friendly for students and teachers. McGraw-Hill provided the online portion of learning that helped teachers provide the resources to students that were needed. Additionally, even though McGraw-Hill is wordy in its descriptions in the workbooks it was the least "wordy" of the other options provided to teachers, such as, Go Math.
