Accessibility is one of McGraw Hill's key initiatives—and incredibly important for the future of learning. Join host Valerie Kramer and Lisa Nicks (McGraw Hill) as we talk about what accessibility means and why it's so important in everything we do.

Accessibility: When a person with a disability is afforded the opportunity to acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services as a person without a disability in an equally integrated and equally effective manner, with substantially equivalent ease of use.—The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Education

Please join Jim Connely (McGraw Hill Education) & Ian Townsend (McGraw Hill Education), as they talk about new simulations in McGraw Hill Virtual Labs. Ian Townsend gives you some quick tips and a behind the scenes about how product decisions are made at McGraw Hill. As mentioned on the podcast, please email Ian to get involved with reviewing or contributing with Virtual Labs (email: [email protected]).

We are excited to let you know that five (5) new labs are now available for you to assign in your course. The new labs are:

• Invertebrate Dissection – Earthworm
• Invertebrate Dissection – Mussel
• Vertebrate Dissection – Perch
• Population Biology - Growth and Competition
• Plants – Transpiration

If you want to see a quick video on where to find the new labs and a preview of the earthworm dissection, click here: https://bit.ly/earthwormdissection

Please join Tami Hodge (McGraw Hill Education) & Jason Furrer (University of Missouri), as they talk about the importance of practicing lab content and skills with McGraw Hill's virtual labs. Jason talks about weaving in personal experiences (his wife is a nurse) and making sure you have time to have your students talk through things they are learning. Jason gives some solid tips to make your science course better!

Please join Jim Connely (McGraw Hill Education) & Michael Kool  (McGraw Hill Education), as they talk about unique assessments with McGraw Hill Virtual Labs. McGraw Hill Connect Virtual Labs can be utilized in a variety of implementation models. Click here to learn from a few instructors how they have seen success with Virtual Labs!  Instructors are using the simulations in Virtual Labs as pre-lab learning experiences, so students are better prepared and more efficient for the in-person lab experience. The lab simulations are also a great resource for integrating lecture and lab topics in order to allow students to apply what they have learned in lecture to the lab simulations. Finally, the simulations in Virtual Labs provide a complete lab experience for online courses. In all of these lab implementation scenarios, instructors need different types of assessment options. In this article, you will be introduced to the different types of assessment activities available to you in Connect that accompany the simulations in Virtual Labs.

Please join Tami Hodge (McGraw Hill Education) & Heidi Smith (Front Range Community College), as they talk about the importance of a solid pre-lab approach. Moving from a print oriented pre-lab to a digital one with McGraw Hill Virtual Labs revolutionized Heidi Smith's lab. 80-90% of her students do the pre-lab work and show up the most prepared!
