基于对课堂技术日益增长的需求,麦格劳-希尔开始在提供传统印刷产品的同时提供数字产品。随着人们越来越关注开发自适应学习系统,使课堂教学更接近一对一的师生互动,这种转变得以加速。这些系统允许个性化学习,评估每个学生的技能水平,并使用数据来确定每个人如何通过课程最有效地进步。麦格劳-希尔目前为1100多万用户提供数字产品和服务,涉及1500多种自适应产品,涵盖高等教育和主要K-12课程的数字格式。

Controversies
In 1980, McGraw-Hill paid the African American writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin a $200,000 advance for his unfinished book Remember This House, a memoir of his personal recollections of civil rights leaders Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr.[48]。Following his death, the company sued his estate to recover the advance they had paid him for the unfinished book. The lawsuit was dropped by the company in 1990, citing a desire not to cause distress to Baldwin's family.
In October 2015, McGraw-Hill Education was accused of whitewashing history after it published a caption in a geography textbook referring to American slaves as "workers".[49] The company quickly apologized, updated the digital version of the materials, and offered schools replacement texts at no charge.[50] It has been linked to broader controversies about texts at the Texas Education Agency.[51]
