Dear Professor Harbaugh,
I’m reaching out to you about the on-going COVID-19 outbreak and the ways that McGraw-Hill can help.
Recently, several schools have decided to suspend or are considering suspending face-to-face classes to help mitigate the potential risk for students and faculty. We know this potential change comes at a difficult time, during the middle of the term, and could be extremely disruptive to your class. That’s why McGraw-Hill is here to support you and your students. It is my utmost priority to ensure you and your students have access to the materials you need to be successful, while making sure everyone stays healthy and safe. Whether it be helping you to:
Explore online assignments in replacement for in-class activities
Learn how to assign online textbook readings
Learn how to create virtual lab activities and assessments
Find additional resources or online materials
McGraw-Hill is here to assist. Let me know how I can help you.
Thank you,
yeah I got a shitload of those emails
its more capitalistic bullshit
my plan is use google tools ….
Open Access to Support Educators and Students Amid Growing COVID-19 Impact
As campuses and communities contend with the increasing impact of COVID-19, providing continuity of learning is more important than ever. We want to ensure instructors who need to teach remotely have the necessary tools to help their students.
Beginning today, instructors and their students without an adopted online learning solution, such as WileyPLUS, Knewton Alta, or zyBooks, can receive free access to our courseware for the remaining Spring 2020 term. This access will provide personalized, auto-graded assignments, activities, assessments, and lecture replacement resources, as well as dedicated support from our Customer Success Teams.
Instructors teaching at impacted institutions looking to provide continuity of learning can request access to WileyPLUS or Knewton Alta by simply completing this request form . Instructors looking for zyBooks access can apply through the zyBooks website.
Current WileyPLUS, Knewton Alta, or zyBooks users, please connect with our support teams to help with any transitions to teaching online.
We hope these resources will ease the stress of impacted campuses as well as the many students they need to support. To learn more about how Wiley is helping the global community, such as researchers and professionals, please see our news release here.
Sincerely,
Wiley
