Overview
McGraw Hill Connect is a publisher LTI tool that instructors can integrate into Bruin Learn. By pairing a Bruin Learn course with a McGraw-Hill textbook, both instructors and students gain access to McGraw-Hill's interactive instructional materials. Additionally, grades obtained from Connect assignments can be automatically synchronized with the Bruin Learn Gradebook.
Primary Benefits
Instructors can create several activities using the McGraw Hill Connect LTI integration in Bruin Learn:
- Reading assignments - create reading assignments by selecting specific topics within chapters and providing direct links, guiding students through designated portions of the textbook or focused topics.
- Smartbook assignments - create new assignments in SmartBook or design review assignments blending new material with what students have already covered.
- Quizzes - build quizzes from the eBook content and import the quizzes into Bruin Learn.
