The McGraw Hill Higher Education Teaching & Learning Series covers the following areas of focus:
Best practices for engaging with students in an online atmosphere
Academic integrity and confidently assessing students online
Discipline specific course management for remote delivery
As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact Higher Education institutions throughout Canada, a countless number of educators and students we support have been affected. Many colleges and universities are shifting classes to remote delivery for the Fall semester; or, are introducing a hybrid approach should they need to quickly pivot online during the semester. To that end, we are pleased to introduce the McGraw Hill Higher Education Teaching & Learning Series to help instructors with foundational knowledge, and more advanced topics to confidently navigate the virtual environment.
