Education materials publisher McGraw-Hill Education, US, is showcasing a range of new digital programmes and services at the ongoing 2011 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference in Philadelphia. McGraw-Hill's digital solutions seek to offer higher education institutions the tools and support they need to create a personalised, on-demand learning environment that drives achievement across the board, for institutions, instructors and students.
At the conference, McGraw-Hill Higher Education will unveil a new suite of mobile apps for Connect, the company's web-based course management platform. The mobile apps, which were developed based on extensive field research on how students study, use adaptive learning technologies to guide students through review exercises based on their knowledge gaps and the amount of time they have available to study. Through these mobile capabilities and McGraw-Hill Campus, a platform that allows single sign-on to Connect through any course management platform, McGraw-Hill is setting the standard for access, making educational content available anywhere, anytime, on any device.
McGraw-Hill Campus, a recently launched service, allows schools single sign-on access to McGraw-Hill's digital programmes through any existing learning management system at no additional cost. This service, featured at the EDUCAUSE conference, provides instructors with access to one cohesive system. This is seen to reduce administrative time, allowing them to spend more time on what is most critical: teaching.
The 2011 EDUCAUSE Annual Conference is expected to join the best minds in higher education to advance the industry through the use of digital technologies. McGraw-Hill Higher Education and McGraw-Hill Tegrity will be featured at booths #1818-1820 throughout the conference.
