McGraw Hill continues engagement expansion with largest university in Malaysia to drive digital learning impact

A bold step in Malaysia’s Higher Education journey

We are thrilled to announce an extension of our strategic collaboration between McGraw Hill and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), one of Malaysia’s largest public universities to accelerate digital learning transformation and create lasting impact for students, faculty and the Higher Education community.

As part of this partnership:

  • McGraw Hill is awarding UiTM a International Research Grant, empowering the university to research how digital courseware supports student engagement and performance.

  • UiTM is being recognized for its outstanding adoption of McGraw Hill Connect™ across its business and management programmes, and together we’ll celebrate this through an awards ceremony honouring faculty driving progress.

  • The branding of a new McGraw Hill Lecture Theatre in the UiTM Shah Alam campus marks a visible commitment to modern learning spaces that support tomorrow’s graduates.

  • A special sharing session on faculty and student stories will be featured during the awards ceremony. These stories will also be part of the McGraw Hill Lecture Theatre branding on campus, offering authentic insights into how digital learning is being transformed on-campus.

Why this matters

In today’s rapidly evolving Higher Education landscape, institutions need more than technology. They need evidence, insights, and environments that support meaningful change. Through this collaboration, we are aligning three core pillars:

  • Research & evidence: The grant will fuel credible, peer-relevant research into digital learning effectiveness, offering insights that benefit not only UiTM but the broader education community in Malaysia and beyond.

  • Adoption & scale: UiTM’s strong uptake of McGraw Hill’s Connect demonstrates how technology, when implemented strategically, can anchor large-scale digital-learning transformation across faculties and programmes.

  • Infrastructure & experience: The McGraw Hill Lecture Theatre stands as a physical embodiment of our joint vision: modern, interactive, learning environments that support faculty, engage students and prepare future-ready graduates.

Voices from the partnership

“Our purpose is to support learners and educators with research-driven solutions that deliver measurable impact. Partnering with UiTM on this initiative reinforces our commitment to outcomes through digital solutions that benefit all learners. 

Digital transformation in Higher Education is about more than adoption. It’s about outcomes, culture, design, and infrastructure. Through this collaboration with UiTM, McGraw Hill reaffirms its commitment to working not just with institutions, but alongside them to generate evidence, build modern spaces and scale meaningful solutions.
