Over the past few years, we've been working with instructors and institutions across our region to establish the efficacy of Connect and Smartbook in improving outcomes. As a result, we've learned from them and shared best practices on how they get the most out of the resources. A recurring theme has been student motivation and engagement and how Connect supports both extrinsic and intrinsic motivation in a kind of virtuous circle.

We've been delighted to discover that when strategically incentivised to ensure engagement, revision and practice in Connect correlate consistently with higher grades.

• Connect works as an extra pair of hands and eyes, helping instructors to keep track of individuals even within large cohorts.
• The high-quality teaching and learning resources in Connect can relieve the burden on the instructor to constantly teach the basics - freeing them up to teach higher-level concepts, utilise their professional and subject expertise, and excite and engage students with the subject through deeper exploration and application.
• Connect easily facilitates continuous assessment, enabling instructors to carry out remediation activities and spot those most at risk of failing or dropping out.

• Connect can also be used for end-of-module assessments, either remote or on campus - saving instructors huge amounts of administration and marking time; also, with tools to eliminate cheating such as algorithmic questions and proctoring software.
• McGraw Hill academic consultants work with instructors to set Connect up effectively and in a way that serves their exact requirements. We don't just sell you a solution and walk away.
