McGraw-Hill Education, a learning science company, and LearnLaunch, Boston's leading organization dedicated to connecting, supporting, and growing the education technology ecosystem, have announced a collaboration to promote innovation in education through the development of learning technology. Through the collaboration, McGraw-Hill Education will build relationships with some of the country's most exciting ed-tech startups by providing mentoring and strategic counsel from its leaders and extensive network of in-house developers.
The partnership deepens the existing relationship between LearnLaunch and McGraw-Hill Education. The two organisations have worked together on an informal basis for several years, with McGraw-Hill Education providing guidance and financial support to LearnLaunch.
The partnership represents McGraw-Hill Education's latest investment in digital research and development. The Company estimates that it invested $175 million in digital development and operations in 2015. The partnership is also a product of McGraw-Hill Education's commitment to supporting a culture of learning innovation within the Boston area, where the company opened its digital research and development hub in 2013 and doubled the size of its office in 2014.
Stephen Laster, McGraw-Hill Education's chief digital officer, will speak at the fourth annual LearnLaunch Across Boundaries Conference, which will take place on January 21-22, 2016 in Boston. The conference, which will be sponsored in part by McGraw-Hill Education, will explore how education is moving from digitizing past practice toward more personalized learning through technology.
