[Joe Wilck]

On Behalf of Chelsea Haupt:


McGraw-Hill Education, a leading Learning Science Company, is seeking your
help with development of digital tools to improve student performance!
Below you will find specific information on how you can get involved.



McGraw-Hill has one of the leading texts in Engineering Economy authored by
Leland Blank and Anthony Tarquin. The new, 8th edition of this text is
planned for release in January 2017. The 8th edition will offer exciting
new tools in digital content while retaining the excellent pedagogical
features and valuable resources for instructors and students from its
current edition. These digital tools include:



• McGraw-Hill Connect

• Algorithmic end-of –chapter problems

• SmartBook, an adaptive reading experience

• Video presentations with closed captioning



McGraw-Hill would like to invite instructors to participate in developing
and reviewing algorithmic questions and SmartBook content. Here’s a brief
description of these products:



*ALGORITHMIC END OF CHAPTER QUESTIONS:* Available through the online
homework platform Connect, algorithmic end of chapter questions can be
assigned for homework, practice, exams, or quizzes. Problems includes
algorithmically generated values so that each student receives different
numbers while responses are auto graded to provide immediate feedback to
the student.



*SMARTBOOK:* Also available through Connect is SmartBook which contains the
same content within the print book, but actively tailors that content to
the needs of the individual. SmartBook’s adaptive technology provides
precise, personalized instruction on what the student should do next,
guiding the student to master and remember key concepts, targeting gaps in
knowledge and offering customized feedback, and driving the student toward
comprehension and retention of the subject matter.

digital/adaptive learning tools, please contact Dr. Chelsea Haupt at
