I used McGraw-Hill Connect as an e-learning platform for a graduate-level/professional course. This consisted of MH's "eBook," which isn't really an eBook but rather a series of web pages, and a number of graded exercises to complete.
  • The login process is reasonably stable.
  • It may have some dynamic abilities for instructions and types of lessons. Maybe.
  • 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.
If you want a prepackaged option for learning that requires minimal instructor input, comes with no support, and offers a limited number of options as far as a dynamic and engaging learning experience, then this is probably the right option for you. If, on the other hand, you want a product that does a lot of different things, has excellent customer service, dynamically engages and challenges the user in a number of different activities and learning exercises, then, uh, please look elsewhere.
  • Wasted valuable time trying to figure out the "eBook."
  • Did not receive good value for the money spent.
  • Did not feel as though the company was interested in keeping me satisfied as a customer, or like their customer service was actually interested in solving any problems.
Tech support has extremely limited technical and cultural competency and didn't seem able to understand any of my questions or how to answer them. Hold times are extremely long, as individual support representatives are not necessarily able to answer very basic questions themselves and have to seek out answers from supervisors or elsewhere.

McGraw-Hill Connect allows for incorporating technology in my classroom. I love using ALEKS because it differentiates instruction and meets students at their current levels, allowing them to have everyone in the classroom engaged at the same time. McGraw-Hill Connect also easily connects to LAUSD's Learning Management System (Schoology), which makes incorporating it into the daily classroom routine effortless.
  • Differentiate instruction.
  • User-friendly.
  • Connection to Schoology grade book (currently unavailable).
  • Question variety for some topics.
McGraw-Hill Connect is most suitable for a classroom where students have been taught to work independently, and are motivated to improve their math skills. It is less appropriate for classrooms where students' levels are very low, and where students are generally discouraged and have given up. Despite being an overall independent program, McGraw-Hill Connect requires some support from adults to get each student started.
  • Improved math skills.
  • Improved student confidence.
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 comprehensive, so it was a no-brainer that presented with an option to purchase, we all unanimously chose McGraw-Hill Connect.
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.

We are using McGraw-Hill Connect to connect our iPad distribution with in-class learning through literacy and math apps. We have also used Wonders curriculum that pairs with McGraw-Hill to blend the digital learning.
  • Literacy apps are quick and intuitive.
  • The math apps are paired with our learning standards.
  • Some of the apps are not yet smooth to operate, laggy.
  • The Connect feature for online courses can be slow to load (e.g., teacher resource books).
McGraw-Hill Connect is well suited for creating an online suite for our digital learning needs. We can use the digital curriculum on our iPads to help save on textbook costs.
  • The cost of McGraw-Hill Connect is constantly being explored in comparison to other curricula.
  • It is well integrated with vertical alignment well put together.
McGraw-Hill Connect is certainly more robust and easier to use than Pearson systems, and more developed than everyday math.
From having online coaching sessions to workshop presenters, we've had great support from McGraw-Hill Connect. Their resources are always available.

McGraw-Hill Connect is being used by several departments on our campus including, business, accounting, health, and science. Connect gives us a virtual assignment solution as well as eBook delivery for our courses. Our Connect accounts are built into Canvas and used by instructors through an integration interface. The experience is seamless for students and instructors.
  • 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.
  • We have a trust relationship with another college and the Canvas integration doesn't always work well for them.
  • Offline access to the ebook would be nice.
  • A process with fewer clicks to "relink" assignments from previous semesters.
McGraw-Hill Connect is well suited for the disciplines that we use it for; business, accounting, some sciences and communications. It would also work well for non-math disciplines like psychology and history. We have yet to find a solution that works in our math department.
  • McGraw-Hill Connect is the best publisher we have in terms of pricing. They are willing to work with us on our dual credit programs and in getting solutions tailored to our needs.
  • Students who are not tech-savvy have some trouble registering accounts and using the software.
  • Tech support is very responsive and helpful. They provide onsite training for faculty and students when needed.
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 widely used here, but we have not had any issues.
Support staff and our sales representative are very helpful. Chat or phone support has little to no wait time. If an issue is more in-depth, escalation happens quickly and resolution does not take long.
