McGraw Hill’s Approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Our vision is to empower every educator to engage their students with personalized learning experiences that enrich the unique ways they learn, teach and grow. We believe learning is a fundamentally social experience, and by combining evidence-based research with trusted content and advanced technology like AI, we develop solutions that emphasize connection and facilitate meaningful learning interactions that build human intelligence.

AI in Action
By combining AI with our trusted content, data and technology, we're able to create powerful learning solutions that assist educators, engage learners and make personalized learning scalable.
The AI Reader is a generative AI learning tool integrated into McGraw Hill Connect® for higher education and ALEKS for K-12 through higher education. It helps students to actively engage with eBook content by highlighting words or passages and receiving multiple explanations until concepts are fully understood. For medical students, AI Reader is used across our Access platform and in First Aid Forward’s Step 1 and Step 2 products, transforming reading into deeper learning—highlight any passage to generate instant practice questions, get quick feedback, and strengthen retention for lasting mastery of exam concepts.
By determining each student's baseline of knowledge, ALEKS uses AI to create individual and dynamic paths to success where students learn and then master topics. ALEKS has helped over 50 million students and counting.
ALEKS Adventure is a supplemental math program for grades K–5 that offers highly visual, gamified learning with built-in rewards. Driven by machine learning, students play through their personalized learning path and are supported with adaptive assessment, engaging narratives, guided instruction, and interactive practice.
The latest expansion of McGraw Hill’s AI-driven learning solution for math and science, ALEKS for Calculus uses machine learning to efficiently and accurately diagnose student needs and deliver personalized Calculus and prerequisite content — strengthening fundamentals and deepening conceptual understanding for lasting success in calculus and beyond.
Clinical Reasoning by McGraw Hill helps future clinicians strengthen diagnostic thinking through lifelike, AI-powered patient encounters. Within these simulated conversations, learners gather histories, order labs, and refine differentials in a safe, realistic environment. The AI enhances natural interactions during patient encounters by seamlessly integrating expert-authored, evidence-based medical content — all aligned to trusted McGraw Hill frameworks.
Connect is a modern, intuitive digital learning solution that gives instructors an efficient way to help students work through challenges — building understanding and skills that last beyond the course. With AI-powered tools like Learning Coach — a conversational tutor offering real-time, personalized guidance — and the Translation Tool, which displays original and translated text side-by-side, Connect tailors learning and provides instructors with actionable insights to drive success.
Leveraging advanced AI capabilities, Sharpen Advantage expands McGraw Hill’s popular Sharpen study app into an enterprise-wide solution that helps faculty and administrators measure, curate, and create customized in-app learning experiences that deliver personalized, engaging, and trusted study support built on vetted content from McGraw Hill and partnering institutions. This innovative tool fosters early intervention by identifying learning gaps, driving improved learning outcomes.
Teachally provides powerful AI tools that help educators create and adapt high-quality, standards-aligned instructional materials. Educators can use AI to streamline planning, align with state standards, create assignments and enrichments that target specific skills, and adapt existing content for varying levels of rigor, student readiness, and language needs. Teachally also helps educators personalize instruction to reflect students’ experiences, communities, and learning needs, making it easier to move efficiently from planning to personalized instruction.
Teacher Assistant, available in California Reveal Math, is an AI-powered chatbot that gives teachers instant planning and support through natural language conversations. It helps educators understand available resources, gain insight into course design, and quickly find the most relevant materials to differentiate instruction, empowering them to personalize learning and save valuable classroom time. With new enhancements, Teacher Assistant can also responsibly interpret student data to further support differentiated instruction and personalized learning, increase the findability of relevant content within a course, and enable more seamless engagement with students, helping teachers take more informed, targeted action with greater efficiency.
TeachFX transforms classroom audio into actionable insights. Using its proprietary AI and advanced speaker-identification technology, TeachFX automatically analyzes classroom interactions and provides feedback aligned to high-impact instructional practices, such as effective questioning techniques and encouraging students to explain their thinking more deeply.
The Writing Assistant is an AI-powered feature that empowers teachers by giving students instant, on-demand support in the writing process. It engages students, breaks down tasks, and helps refine writing skills by providing continuous feedback and revision in a simple, user-friendly interface. It optimizes instructional time for teachers by helping streamline feedback, reduce administrative workload, and enhance overall classroom efficiency.
We help people understand AI and apply it responsibly — building AI literacy that prepares learners for the workforce and equips educators to teach with confidence.
Through an exclusive McGraw Hill partnership, students access a K–12 Computing and AI Literacy curriculum designed to build essential digital skills across emerging areas including AI, programming, robotics and cybersecurity, helping prepare students for a technology-driven workforce.
Students build practical AI literacy skills and earn digital credentials they can showcase on LinkedIn to stand out to employers. Nearly 35,000 learners have earned a GenAI digital credential through SIMnet or SIMskills Badges since December 2025.
Our work with AI is guided by four key principles that build upon our strengths as a leading global education company serving nearly 61 million learners and educators around the world.
