McGraw-Hill Education Connect is a digital assignment and assessment platform that strengthens the link between faculty, students, and coursework, helping everyone accomplish more in less time. For students, Connect includes assignable and assessable videos, quizzes, exercises, and interactivities, all associated with the text learning objectives. Connect allows instructors to give homework assignments with immediate, automatic feedback, upload recorded class lectures and presentations through Tegrity, and track student progress and concept comprehension through robust reporting tools.
At the higher end of Bloom’s taxonomy, the McGraw-Hill Education Milestones video series is an observational tool that allows students to experience life as it unfolds, from infancy to late adulthood. This ground-breaking, longitudinal video series tracks the development of real children as they progress through the early stages of physical, social, and emotional development in their first few weeks, months, and years of life. Assignable and assessable within Connect, Milestones also includes interviews with adolescents and adults to reflect development throughout the entire lifespan.
At the lower end of Bloom’s taxonomy, students are introduced to Concept Clips, which help students break down key themes and difficult concepts in Psychology using easy-to-understand analogies, visual cues, and stimulating animations. Assignable and assessable in Connect, the Sixteenth Edition includes new Concept Clips on topics such as object permanence, Bandura’s social cognitive theory, and Kuhl’s language development theory.
Newsflash exercises tie current news stories to key psychological principles and learning objective and assess students on their ability to make the connection between real life and research findings.
McGraw-Hill Education SmartBook™ is the first and only adaptive reading experience! Based on metacognition, SmartBook’s adaptive capabilities provides students a personalized reading and learning experience that helps them identify the concepts they know, and more importantly, the concepts they don’t know.
McGraw-Hill Education authors now have access to student performance data to analyze and to inform their revisions. This data is anonymously collected from the many students who use SmartBook, the adaptive reading experience that provides students with individualized assessment of their own progress. Because virtually every text paragraph is tied to several questions that students answer while using SmartBook, the specific concepts with which students are having the most difficulty are easily pinpointed through empirical data in the form of a “heat map” report.
Connect Insight™ is a one-of-kind visual analytics dashboard—now available for both instructors and students—that provides at-a-glance information regard¬ing student performance. The immediate analysis from Connect Insight empowers student and helps instructors improve class performance efficiently and effectively.

With each edition, John Santrock seeks the input of leading experts about the content in a number of areas of development, who provide evaluations and recommendations in their area(s) of expertise.
