Educational textbook publisher Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) has announced a year-long pilot of the first-ever full-curriculum Algebra app for the Apple iPad.
The Algebra app was designed by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s R&D hub located in Dublin. This new and innovative development involved a range of disciplines within HMH including learning design, interactive design, and user experience design. HMH is piloting the app on 400 iPads in school districts across California.
The pilot represents the launch of HMH Fuse, a new mode of curriculum delivery where interactive platforms and mobile devices bring learning to life for students by moving beyond the one-way experience of a print or digital textbook.
Through the app students receive guided instruction, can write and save notes, access video lessons, and receive feedback on practice questions. The app’s multi-dimensional functionality combines instruction, ongoing support and intervention, allowing teachers and students to customize learning and meet individual needs.
“The launch of HMH Fuse and this app signal the beginning of a new era in curriculum development, where the goal is not just providing world-class content, but also delivering it in a variety of ways so that students and teachers can individualize the learning experience,” said Barry O’Callaghan, CEO of HMH. “We believe this pilot will provide the nation with a glimpse into the future of education.”
“The Algebra 1 iPad app combines the interactive mathematics content with the portability and unique functionality of the iPad device to allow students to truly engage in the learning process, becoming active learners who can explore new concepts, interpret information and solve problems,” said HMH vice President of digital publishing, Teresa Hagan.
