Marketing success stories

  • University of Reading, Henley Business School, Marketing and Reputation Department, UK

    Henley Business School, renowned for its global business education, partnered with McGraw-Hill Education to invigorate its marketing courses. Dr. Irute Daukseviciute, a lecturer and MSc Marketing Programme Director, sought interactive and engaging teaching methods, adopting McGraw-Hill's Connect and LearnSmart. This innovative technology personalised learning, improved student performance, and reflected the school's commitment to cutting-edge teaching.

    "In one of the courses I taught to undergraduates I noticed that in the multiple choice section of the exam around 70% of students gained a distinction, and in the essay section there were more merits after using Connect. A year before using Connect, the average mark was 57%, whereas it’s now in the high 60%. Albeit that was with a different cohort and lecturer, but nevertheless I would definitely put some of that improvement down to Connect.Dr. Irute Daukseviciute, Lecturer at Henley Business School.
