McGraw Hill Connect is a digital learning platform for higher education. Instructors build assignments and use real-time reporting to see which students are at risk; students work with SmartBook, an adaptive reading experience with self-quizzing, and the accompanying Sharpen study app. Connect integrates with learning environments such as Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace and Moodle. The platform is delivered as SaaS and McGraw Hill updates content directly in the course.
McGraw Hill, Inc. is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, and is listed on a US stock exchange. Platinum Equity, also American, is reported to hold the majority of the shares. The service is subject to US law, including the CLOUD Act. The privacy notice names no storage regions: data may be held in the company's secure data centres and with cloud providers such as AWS, and transfers outside Europe rely on standard contractual clauses. For school products the institution is generally the data controller. A European educational institution should have storage location and processor terms confirmed in writing.
