Education materials publisher McGraw-Hill Education, US, has announced a collaboration with Intel. The combination of McGraw-Hill's educational content with Intel Learning Series technology specifically designed for the elementary school classroom creates a personalised learning experience for students. For schools, this collaboration offers the flexibility to choose from a variety of options including total digital solutions or hybrid models consisting of print and digital components.
The first McGraw-Hill Education programme optimised specifically for the new Intel-powered convertible classmate PC reference design is LEAD21, an all-new elementary school literacy programme designed to reach a new generation of readers. LEAD21 offers students and teachers full print, digital and professional development resources. Through this collaboration with Intel, LEAD21 offers integrated content and hardware solutions as well. The programme provides every learner with easy access to digital tools, such as an Online Coach, ePractice activities and more, which help students manage and extend their own learning. In the coming months, McGraw-Hill also plans to introduce additional programmes and software created to work specifically with the classmate PC.
The new Intel-powered convertible classmate PC reference design is based on extensive ethnographic research with students and teachers, catering to how students learn and how teaching is evolving in the classroom. The new design combines aesthetics with ruggedness, full PC functionality with enhanced e-reading capabilities and improved performance with energy efficiency. The two companies have conducted pilots over the last year to test how students and teachers engage with technology during classroom instruction and plan to continue ethnographic research to guide their efforts.
