Our Application Based Activities (ABAs) and Mini-Sims in Business & Economics are simulations designed to help students understand how the theory they learn applies in practice. Through engaging in real-world business scenarios that put them in the driving seat, students apply the course concepts they have learned as well as practice their problem-solving and critical thinking skills.

We have over 100 ABAs across Economics, International Business, Introduction to Business, Management and Marketing courses, alongside Student Success modules that provide extra support for students around key 21st Century skills as they navigate through university and beyond.

These highly interactive, automatically graded exercises provide students with a safe space to practice and develop the sought-after employability skills they'll need after graduation.

Connect Virtual Labs is a fully online, realistic, simulated lab experience to help your student be better prepared for real-life labs and retain more of the fundamental skills necessary for a successful laboratory experience.

They can be used as an online lab replacement, preparation, supplement or make-up lab to bridge the gap between lab and lecture.

Nearly 200 simulations across the the biological sciences and chemistry on topics from 'Applying the scientific method' to 'Urinalysis' (there's no Z) help students learn the practical and conceptual skills needed to succeed in lab environments, whilst also checking their comprehension and providing instant feedback.

Each simulation also comes with pre-lab tests to assess and reanimate foundational knowledge as well as post-lab assessments for complete insight into students' mastery of the material.

You don't need us to tell you that the world is changing, and the skills that graduates need are changing with it. Employers are increasingly looking for a mix of academic, practical and personal skills and competencies, with digital literacy coming out on top.

Digital literacy is not just about being able to use the softwares and tools that come with the job, it's also about being able to interpret data, to understand how it is useful, be able to explain to others, and to make decisions or recommendations based on it.

Discipline-specific activities and exercises in Connect are designed to help students familiarise themselves with the tools they'll use in their careers, to understand how they link to the theory they are learning, and to practice using them in a safe environment where they have freedom to fail.

Talk to your academic consultant about the resources available for your subject.

In this information age, we know that students don't always go to a textbook or the relevant journals for learning. And indeed the ready accessibility of multi-media content is a great thing for different learning styles, and indeed for everyone as a means to learn in different ways that fit in with our busy lives.

Connect is full of allocatable assets that help introduce, clarify and extend a topic - supplementing lectures, giving student an opportunity to research and dig deeper, and reducing queries to instructors. And because they're in Connect and created with our authors and subject-matter experts, they're a more reliable source of information than YouTube.

The exact resources available varies from discipline to discipline. Talk to your academic consultant about the resources available for your subject.

In addition to Application Based Activities, for the Psychology discipline we have an especially wide range of video and interactive content in Connect, which we have pulled together into a Psychology Toolkit. This resource is the perfect compliment to a McGraw Hill textbook but can also be used as a standalone supplementary resource on any first year Psychology course.
