McGraw-Hill Connect®: A leading online assignment tool and assessment engine offering innovative, digital features including: LearnSmart, a powerful adaptive learning system; Tegrity, a lecture-capture tool; and a library of media-rich eBooks.

Why Blackboard and McGraw-Hill

At Blackboard, our focus is on continuous innovation and quality, and on our commitment to openness. Not only is the integrated Blackboard-McGraw-Hill solution an industry first, but it’s also the first Blackboard Building Block to be developed using the open technology standards of Basic Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI). This gives clients the freedom to make technology changes without sacrificing their investments in the solution.

Partnering with McGraw-Hill, a leading publisher and innovator of cutting-edge digital teaching and learning solutions, brings our clients’ institutions one step closer to building a better education experience. Access to over 300 titles across 50 academic disciplines through McGraw-Hill Connect gives instructors the breadth and depth of high-quality educational content they need. Plus they have the flexibility they need to develop custom course materials using McGraw-Hill Create.

Together, we’re committed to providing institutions with the power to do more. And this is only the beginning.
