McGraw Hill + OLC Partnership

McGraw Hill & Online Learning Consortium


We know you need more than just digital content. You need high-quality, pedagogically sound digital content that is instructionally designed for student success.

About Our Partnership


McGraw Hill has partnered with the dedicated higher education community at the Online Learning Consortium (OLC) to provide advanced quality digital teaching and learning experiences.

McGraw Hill and the OLC have created a Quality in Online Learning Certification for our Digital Faculty Consultants (DFCs) and implementation team. With research-backed best practices, this certification provides our Digital Success Consultants and DFCs at McGraw Hill with progressive resources on how to build, facilitate and assess online courses.

Benefits of OLC-Aligned Courses


Our OLC-aligned courses have many benefits. With exclusively engineered courseware aligned to online course development best practices, educators can access how-to videos and on-demand toolkits that will aid in course preparation. Syllabus guides and quick-start guides are provided to help get your course up and running as quickly and as effortlessly as possible.

We also provide access to virtual coaching from OLC-certified, Connect-trained peers.

“This partnership just reaffirms McGraw Hill's dedication to excellence in education, for students and instructors. I had never given (or taken) an online course before Covid-19, and participating in the certification allowed me to experience what quality online education looks and feels like from a student perspective. Being mindful of that experience when designing & delivering my course turned out to be a great benchmark for excellence, and just one benefit of the OLC & McGraw Hill partnership.”
