McGraw Hill Learning Architecture
Web-based learning that combines McGraw-Hill content with Top Class software from WBT Systems. They have developed on-line software that can help administer a course, encourage collaborative learning, and customize course content. It can help assign quizzes, post homework assignments, track students’ progress, and add own materials. Students need only a computer with a standard Web browser to navigate through dynamic pages of text, graphics, exercises, PowerPoint slides, and more. If they should have difficulty with a topic, they can use a built-in message system to e-mail the instructor or fellow students with questions. The claim is that this product is a Web-based product that provides classroom management, collaborative learning, and content management all in one place.
