Actively Learn is McGraw Hill’s digital reading, annotation, and instructional-content platform. Teachers assign texts or import content, embed questions and notes, provide scaffolds, and review annotations and written responses. Annotations and responses connect a learner with a text and instructional prompt. Teachers use that record to guide discussion and feedback alongside the student’s other classroom work.
