McGraw Hill Introduces 2 Gen AI Learning Tools
Global education company McGraw Hill has added two new generative AI tools to help personalize learning experiences for both K–12 and higher ed students, according to a news release.
Writing Assistant provides writing instruction, guidance, and real-time feedback to students in grades 6–12. The tool will be integrated into McGraw Hill's existing Actively Learn and Achieve3000 Literacy programs and be tested in select school districts this fall. The tool allows students to ask for specific guidance and feedback during short-form writing exercises, offering immediate, targeted support. It also provides per-student metrics that allow teachers to track student growth and ability.
AI Reader is available within a variety of titles on McGraw Hill's eBook platform and offers students a deeper understanding of course materials with real-time engagement and support. The tool enhances reading enrichment for university students, giving them the ability to highlight text and ask for an alternate explanation; simplified language; or a spot-check quiz. Its goal is to create a more flexible, inquiry-based approach to reading assignments.
"We have decades of experience building digital learning tools that leverage various forms of AI and have been excited by the possibilities for gen AI to support learning in new ways, helping educators save time and better support their students," said McGraw Hill CEO Simon Allen. "These new gen AI tools have been developed with the same careful research, planning and testing that we require for all McGraw Hill products, so educators and learners can feel reassured that they are high-quality and effective, and safely guard student data and privacy."
