Meet Ed: Your Friend in Learning Ed is a new online learning system that combines the best of technology, content and instruction to personalize the teaching and learning experience with HMH programs for every teacher and student. Ed is designed to be a friend to learners while supporting teachers and simplifying their instructional practice. Before you get started To optimize your experience with the system and the content from our new programs, please disable pop-up blockers or allow pop-ups from this site in your browser software. These notes will guide your review and provide additional details on the upcoming features and functions that will be available in Ed by the beginning of the 2017-2018 school year. Why did we build Ed? We wanted to create an online learning system that effectively combines HMH’s world-class content with actionable data to support educators as they differentiate instruction at scale. Ed is designed to be friendly, intuitive, and approachable.

Navigating Ed In designing the user experience on Ed, we focused on the cyclical flow of day-to-day teaching and learning activities. Upon logging into a teacher account on Ed, you’ll notice that there are five main sections, or tabs, of the online learning system:

Discover: This tab provides an area to view curriculum materials by content or standards from a single location. You also have the ability to access modules, units, lessons, and resources, as well as open teacher and student eBooks.

Plans: This tab allows you to create a collection of resources, which you can access and assign from one location.

Assignments: Assignments can be created from program content and standards resources found within Discover or Plans.

Data & Reports: This tab provides an area to view student performance data and access critical information. Teachers can view class proficiency for a grade level or program, class proficiency for a single assessment, generate a report for a single assessment, review individual student scores on assessments, and receive recommendations for groups based on assessment performance to inform instructional next practices.

Groups: This tab allows you to create subsets of students from your classes. Groups can also be created automatically by Ed based on the results of a single assessment. Your saved groups are available for use when you create assignments.

You can learn more about navigating a Teacher account in Ed by visiting HMH Online Help for Teachers. Student Account: You can learn more about navigating a Student account in Ed by visiting HMH Online Help for Students. Students only have 3 main navigational sections: Discover, Assignments and Scores.
