Opiniones de McGraw-Hill Connect

Fantastic resource with a lot of hidden gems.

Puntos a favor:

Overall, it is a highly valuable resource for both students and instructors alike. It allows users to have remote access to the text that is used in the classroom if they are not able to access a copy of the textbook. There are also multimedia resources and quizzes available for some texts/resources. I loved using this in some of my university courses.

Puntos en contra:

It can be a little challenging to navigate as a new user. I also think that a lot of instructors are unaware of the full resources that are available to their students. Some of the resources can seem a little “hidden” at first but once you’ve used it a couple of times you can unlock its full potential.

Want the best Medical Office - Billing and Coding software - for College students? Look no further..

Comentarios: I am moving as many courses and resource materials to MMGH so I can use Connect in as many classes as possible. I believe all my SP21 courses are set up with MMGH and will be using Connect. They also have a medical office simulation (game) that students can mimic the exact duties and responsibilities they will be doing in the Medical Office in this software and can get grading information on their work and progress. :)

Puntos a favor:

Textbook, Assignments from the textbook, Workbook, Workbook assignments from the workbook are in this software. No need to purchase a printed book and wait to get it. Everything coincides with the text and/or workbook you use from McGraw-Hill. All Instructor resources are right at hand. I can add, change, delete, hide, upload, download almost anything out of or in to Connect.

Puntos en contra:

Getting started process for Instructors. Getting the students, especially the ones that are new to the Medical Office environment, up and running in the first class time. Did not work the first two semesters I used Connect but since then is not so bad. Just big learning curve already and then add having to try and help the students get started was overwhelming.

Resourceful

Puntos a favor:

Great sources for more student interactions

Puntos en contra:

So many options to choose from overwhelming at times

Terrible product and service

Comentarios: Incredibly frustrating and time-consuming. This service was not made for someone with a full-time job.

Puntos a favor:

There are no pros. This is a bad service and I feel sorry for any student forced to use this service.

Puntos en contra:

You have to purchase the material, and then pay a download fee to actually receive your material. McGraw Hill Connect states they have made it easier to learn....all they did was copy the questions so a user has to answer them twice. Terrible customer service that offers no resolutions. I feel that this is an incredibly lazy service for a university to use. Outsourcing work to a third party that truly does not care about educating the students forced to use this service.

McGraw-Hill Connect - Enhancing the Learning Experience

Comentarios: My overall experience with McGraw-Hill Connect has been positive. I no longer have to input grades in two different places.

Puntos a favor:

One of the standout features of McGraw-Hill Connect is its ability to provide a wide range of course materials in the platform.

Puntos en contra:

Some aspects of the product can be challenging to use initially. The interface may require some getting use to when link to the lms.

Good, but not great

Comentarios: I like this software a lot. My class uses it 2-3 times a week. There was recently a hiccup that wiped out all of my previous plans, so I'm having to sort through ALL the things again. It's really a pain. They make it easy for kids to log-in via a computer or tablet browser using "simplified log-in". It would be better if they could also use the app with simplified log-in, but as it stands, it's either app w/ complicated log in, or tablet browser with easy log-in. I hear the app is buggy, but I don't really use that because it's easier for first graders to use simplified log-in.

Puntos a favor:

I love the options & diversity of materials included in this software - games, review, lessons, etc. I love that parents/students can access these at home and use them as review.

Puntos en contra:

Deleting things on your planner is the biggest pain - it's all right click here and confirm there. I love all the materials, but there's got to be an easier way to get rid of lessons/activities that you don't want. Also, I really dislike that so many of the activities have almost the same name, even if they're different activities.

McGraw-Hill Connect - One of the Better LMS Integrations

Comentarios: MH-Connect, by far, provides the best customer service from my experience.

Puntos a favor:

McGraw-Hill Connect (or MHConnect) provides one of the best LTI integrations with Canvas, our institution's LMS. The MHConnect interfaces allows you to create assignments, quizzes, and exams and then sync them with Canvas. When students participate in these activities, they do so through the MHConnect interface, and then their scores are passed back to the Canvas grade book. We have multiple publisher integrations in our instance of Canvas. McGraw-Hill Connect continuously provides the most stable connection with little need for support. But when we do need support, we're able to resolve things very quickly with an actual person over the phone.

Puntos en contra:

The interface for MHConnect could use a major refresh that includes enhancing the intuitiveness of performing key functions. For example, after creating assignments, quizzes, and exams, it's not immediately apparent that the instructor needs to then deploy those items to Canvas. It's frequently assumed that because their Canvas course is already linked to their MHConnect course, anything created will be automatically synced with Canvas. Also, changing certain settings for a course in MHConnect needs to be better communicated to the instructor.

Connecting with McGraw-Hill Connect

Comentarios: Overall I love the software. Our K-6 ELA teachers use it daily in the classroom as their main ELA resource. The students love that they can log in and complete assignements assigned to them by their teacher.

Puntos a favor:

I love that McGraw-Hill Connect made it easy for teachers to add the product license themselves for the teacher book and the student book. Teachers are also able to setup their own account.

Puntos en contra:

i can say the only thing I don’t like about McGraw-Hill Connect software is the process for uploading students into the program. You have to use a excel template to type certain login credentials for each student. This process is okay on the front in of setting up your student accounts but we get several new students a month and it would be easier to just type those few students information directly into the program instead of completing the excel template and then waiting for it to upload.

An Expensive connect for Student

Puntos a favor:

I love the contents and the psychology books from McGraw Hill.

Puntos en contra:

The expensivity cannot be ignored by a student.

Great

Puntos a favor:

A good way to study was to complete assignments and connect helped with understanding what I learned in class.

Puntos en contra:

The assignments were a lot. It requires a lot of time to complete

McGraw-Hill Connect - Education in the 21st Century

Comentarios: My overall experience with McGraw-Hill Connect has been positive. I sometimes feel that there are simply too many assignments, too much homework, and far too many quizzes, but at the same time, as a remote student, I'm saving tons of time that would otherwise be spent driving to a campus, and probably learning more in the process.

Puntos a favor:

When I returned to college in 2017 to obtain my MBA, I was surprised how much everything had changed. For starters, I was earning my degree 100% online. This meant lots of e-books and e-learning tools, and both are found through McGraw-Hill Connect. What I like most about this software is that it's easy to get started and easy to maintain progress. The site stores your textbooks, and when you access a textbook, the application remembers where you left off. It's easy to tag and highlight text, sections, and pages. Toggling over to work assignments, you'll find these are easily mapped out so you always know what's due and when it's due (assuming your professor has properly set up the course, of course). I admit I found it all a bit intimidating at first, but now I quite enjoy the many features and functions this learning solution has to offer.

Puntos en contra:

At times, especially when you first being navigating the site, it can be easy to get lost. And this, of course, can be really frustrating when you are on a class deadline. My advice is to navigate the site slowly and learn where everything is stored. A bit of practice will save a lot of headaches in the long run.

Bringing homework to the internet, McGraw-Hill Connect is a viable option for educators and students

Comentarios: I am currently taking an online-based class to improve my skills. Connect allows me to complete homework assignments to further my education and ensure I have a good grasp of the material.

Puntos a favor:

McGraw-Hill Connect allows educators and students to digitally assign and complete homework. Connect provides a variety of testing and work options, from timed, password protected quizzes to textbook readings and questions. Educators have the ability to choose options that fit their needs - should the students have access to the book to make a quiz open-book? Should they have the ability to check the correctness of their work (once? unlimited times?)? McGraw-Hill has designed problem sets that complement their textbooks. This means students are able to do homework directly related to the material they are learning. If desired, Connect has hint videos that walk students through the steps necessary to complete a problem.

Puntos en contra:

The solutions provided by Connect are not overly helpful. At times, the hint videos or solutions will provide a way to solve a problem that is different than the method taught in the textbook. Connect could use some work on consistency in this area.

Exceptional Software

Comentarios: The overall experience that I have with this software is completely positive and what is most important is the fact that we are able to teach our own children.

Puntos a favor:

My wife and I have been using McGraw Hill Connect for our 5th and 6th grader for a few years and this software is outstanding. You can actually teach your children one on one and teach them exactly the way that the educators would do it in school. We use the student edition and the teachers edition and I can truly say, it is very very exceptional, like their grades. It was referred to us by a school administrator when my wife was working in the school, and now I send all my friends and family to their website to at least do a trial period, even for their college aged children. You cannot go wrong with this software.

Puntos en contra:

The only thing that I do not like about this software, is the fact that I did not find out about it sooner. I can only imagine the kind of tools and resources that they have for Pre-K and K children.

Interactive textbook increases information retained from reading

Comentarios: Overall I think it helps me understand the material better and I think the pros definitely outweigh the cons!

Puntos a favor:

This software has been used for many of my college courses and it has definitely helped me understand the material from the textbook better than if I were to be reading it on my own. Having the textbook be interactive, with important sections highlighted and questions being asked along the way, forces me to pay more attention and think critically about what I am reading. It also helped make my reading more efficient, because I was aware of what the most important sections were when I was being quizzed.

Puntos en contra:

Sometimes if I just wanted to read the textbook without having the quizzes, or just read at my own pace, little reminders about how I had been reading for awhile and not looked at any of the questions yet could get very annoying. The software is great when you want to be using it but if you are trying to avoid it, it doesn't like not being used.

Very costly for students and if you use the e-book you can't keep any material

Comentarios: bad experiences

Puntos a favor:

this platform can be used to give quizzes and exams to students and for the them to the e-book

Puntos en contra:

expensive and not user friendly a lot of the "practice" don't pertain to the actual reading used by institutions to give tests, when they can utilize their current platforms instead of paying extra

Adaptive Learning with McGraw-Hill Connect

Comentarios: In my Success Strategies course, the Smartbook within McGraw-Hill Connect guides the students' learning to specific, targeted concepts and terms of importance, similar to the role of a teacher. Smartbook has tailored students learning with an individualized and focused approach. This has been helpful in providing supplemental resources and learning to my students.

Puntos a favor:

McGraw-Hill Connect provides students with learning opportunities and meeting them where they are. The learning materials, such as practice assignments, videos, and quizzes, allows students to review the content and adapts to their level of understanding.

Puntos en contra:

For the past couple of years, McGraw-Hill Connect assignment grades does not automatically sync to my Brightspace D2L course, so I have to manually go into McGraw-Hill Connect and force the sync to my course.

Teacher Directed Reading Tool

Comentarios: McGraw-Hill Connect has been great to use in my classroom.

Puntos a favor:

I have been using this software for around 8 years. I absolutely love it! I have used it in 3rd, 4th and 1st grades. It has enhanced my TDR lessons greatly. The vocabulary games, stories and poems really get my students engaged in the lesson.

Puntos en contra:

I cannot think of any cons at this time.

Good supplement for students.

Puntos a favor:

As an educator it does a good job of being user-friendly and easy to understand for students to navigate. Students can access practice tests, interactive and assignments. I really like having a digital copy of each textbook available. I use it to supplement my curriculum.

Puntos en contra:

There are times where Connect has technical issues. It does not have an integrated LMS service which would enhance its appeal for teachers. Sometimes the info is not as current as I would like.

A good tool that is still a work in progress

Comentarios: The software is useful for review learning and for short weekly practice quizzes. Customer service has been excellent, prompt and knowledgeable.

Puntos a favor:

The adaptive learning aspect works well. It helped many students learning the content and pass the class with a good grade (B+-A). Once the instructor becomes familiar with all the functionalities, it is a valuable analysis tool.

Puntos en contra:

The use of the software is not intuitive. Many extra steps are required to perform simple tasks such as copying courses from one quarter to the next. The date and time tool does not work consistently. Integration and synchronization with the learning management system can be erratic leading to panicked emails from students. There is no way to enroll as a student. Student preview is not enough to troubleshoot students' problems.

Textbook and Homework Source

Comentarios: I really enjoyed using McGraw-Hill for my accounting classes. I would recommend using it as an educational tool.

Puntos a favor:

I was required to buy McGraw Connect to take my accounting homework in college. I also purchased my textbooks on McGraw which provided me useful study materials like flashcards and quizzes. My favorite tool is the interactive textbook that highlights important information.

Puntos en contra:

One problem I had with the interactive textbook were the reminders to take the quiz. It would useful for there to be a way to turn off that notification because it was distracting.

McGraw-Hill Connect Software

Comentarios: I would recommend this product to anyone who is in college. Professors love to use this program, and it is very easy to use on the student side as well. This product works wonders in the learning process.

Puntos a favor:

This software makes reading textbooks and completing assignments very easy and convenient. With having access to this program from any device, getting work done for school is made very accessible.

Puntos en contra:

I have not experienced any issues with this software. It has been very helpful in pursing a higher education within classrooms.

Integrate your textbook with online learning.

Comentarios: M-H Connect makes it easier for teachers in the digital age to incorporate online learning and physical textbooks. We have been pleased with its functionality.

Puntos a favor:

Online feature align and expand textbook content for students. Makes lesson planning easier for educators. It has many interactives based on your subject.

Puntos en contra:

User interface can feel a bit dated. Adding and connecting textbook licenses can be complicated when adding new students. Some content feels dated depending on your subject.

Great software at a good price

Comentarios: Amazing experience, never had any issues where I needed additional support, everything is simply put for registration

Puntos a favor:

Easily able to see what caused incorrect answer and fix errors, searching through textbook is seamless, read aloud options available, love the free trial for students waiting for financial aid

Puntos en contra:

Price is high, so being a student it hurts but I understand why

Amazing

Puntos a favor:

I love the different features on Connect such as the quizzes because it really allows me to review my material and check if I understand it. I also love the e-text option available as it really made studying really efficient.

Puntos en contra:

Sometimes it becomes difficult to navigate through the pages, not sure why, but overall amazing product.

McGraw Connect student textbook functionality

Comentarios: McGraw-Hill Connect is good for textbooks but with a few tweaks the viewing experience would be great.

Puntos a favor:

The book directory is very good and points you the right way to find the portions you need. Registration is easy and fast.

Puntos en contra:

The book functionality isn't the best. The zoom feature is no good and navigating exercises is not easy or simple.
