Content Process
Creating High-Quality Content for Instructors and Students
For more than 120 years, McGraw Hill Higher Education has developed and produced high-quality course materials for instructors and students. Authors, contributors, and subject matter experts have partnered with our McGraw Hill team of product developers, portfolio managers, and production staff to embark on the creation and delivery of engaging, efficient, and effective digital learning experiences and validated assessments for undergraduate courses in higher education. Product developers oversee content quality by developing, concepting, and shaping intellectual property for print and digital delivery while serving as the point person for coordinating the efforts of authors, contributors/SMEs, and production & digital platform teams.
Whether you are creating long-form reading experiences, adaptive content, formative assessments, or immersive digital activities, you will collaborate closely with our skilled team in every step of the content journey.
