Evolving Higher Education: Teaching the Finance & Accounting Students of Today
Are you looking to enhance your teaching with digital tools and technology but aren’t sure how? Perhaps you want to ensure that your students are adequately prepared for the technology-driven aspects of the workforce.
Or perhaps you’re looking for ways to keep your students engaged in complex and sometimes theoretical subject matter that can be challenging.
Maybe you’ve been trying to create a more hybrid curriculum but aren’t seeing it translate yet into better results for your students and don’t have time to look for examples of best practice and approaches that work.
Perhaps you’re tired of trying to keep track of the engagement and understanding of large, mixed-ability and mixed-background cohorts and want to move to continuous assessment in a way that won’t break you.
Chaired by David Hillier, author of our best-selling Corporate Finance titles, this webinar will see our panel of instructors and subject matter experts looking at how they use McGraw Hill content and platforms in conjunction to address these kinds of challenges and more. You’ll discover not only the suite of tools available to help you in Connect, but more importantly, how they can be used as part of an approach to make the experience of you and your students easier and better.
