User Testimonials
	McGraw-Hill Connect	Synap
Likelihood to Recommend	McGraw-Hill Education 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. Incentivized Rita Wheeler Instructional Technology Coordinator Read full review	Synap Learning No answers on this topic
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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review	Synap Learning No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	McGraw-Hill Education 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.

Return on Investment	McGraw-Hill Education Improved efficiency from analysts looking to speed up the time it takes to do certain tasks. Less waste on searching and researching how to do certain concepts. Negative impact is use by individuals that can learn better through other methods that don't require activities.
