3. How Connect Helps Students College Smarter
Connect is your personalized digital learning assistant that makes acing exams, managing time, and getting work done easier — and more convenient — than ever.
Empowers you to learn your way, anytime, anywhere — fully digital, personalized learning experience
Improves grades and likelihood of passing vs. traditional textbooks
Creates personalized study guides based on what you need to practice most
Highlights most important parts of your reading
Saves time and keeps you on track
For this course, I have adopted an online personalized learning tool called Connect from McGraw-Hill.
Connect is like having your own digital tutor and personal planner at your fingertips, 24/7. Connect contains everything you need to pass this class – an eBook and other learning tools, your assignments, quizzes, and exams. And with to-do lists, calendars, and alerts, you can be sure you don’t miss an assignment, and ultimately get the grade you want and credits you need the first time around — no repeats, no added tuition costs. All for a fraction of the price of traditional textbooks.
Assignments in Connect account for ___% of your grade.

4. Connect Helps You Perform Better
The learning tools within Connect have been proven to help students perform better in their classes. It’s a pedagogically sound way to organize your study time and give you an opportunity to engage in the material so you’re prepared for classroom discussions and for higher stakes assessments.
Over the course of a year, McGraw-Hill conducted a study across 16 different course sections at various colleges and universities and we found that students who used Connect performed significantly better than those who didn’t. Take a look at these numbers!
85.2% of students using Connect passed their course, compared with 72.5% of students not using Connect. Average exam scores rose almost 10% from 71% without Connect to 80.1% with Connect.

20. The Adaptive Difference: SmartBook
After you spend a little time reading, you’ll see the “Practice” icon in the bottom left corner start to flash, telling you it’s time to jump into the “Practice” phase, where you will answer questions about what you just read about to help reinforce what you learned and to help you retain it. When you answer questions correctly, the highlights turn from yellow to green to indicate that you have learned that material.
Your goal is for all of the highlights in the chapter to be green, showing you that you have mastered the material.
