SmartBook®
Now with AI Reader
McGraw Hill’s adaptive learning solution is rooted in science, enabling you to boost student engagement, build on their knowledge, and prepare them for whatever comes next.
Why Smartbook?
Backed by over 10 years of insights from billions of questions answered by students across 90+ disciplines, we've deeply analyzed how adaptive learning drives students’ performance.
The results? The evolution of Connect’s SmartBook. We’ve designed a supportive learning environment that pairs intentional rigor with a safe space to learn from errors. This is an environment where students build self-awareness through timely, meaningful feedback that accelerates their success.

How Do Smartbook Adaptive Questions Work?
Based on several learning principles such as spacing, chunking, and interleaving, SmartBook generates mini cycles of questions, each comprising no more than five concepts, creating smaller, easier to digest "chunks" of content. Here's how each cycle functions:
-
• It presents questions that vary but share related ideas.
-
• Once students demonstrate comprehension of a concept, they no longer see related questions.
-
• If students struggle with a concept, they are likely to encounter repeated questions, thereby minimising guessing and short-term memorisation.
This unique questioning approach enhances comprehension and long-term retention, setting Connect with SmartBook apart from other adaptive learning tools available today.
