Students want real-world, up-to-date content. With Evergreen, I can update my course with more timely examples. I see this as a huge win for instructors.

Wayne Thomas, a professor at the University of Oklahoma and longtime McGraw Hill author, is focused on keeping his accounting courses aligned with what is happening in the field today. Through McGraw Hill’s Evergreen delivery model, course materials are updated with recent real-world examples, emerging topics, and new assignment types, including AI-driven cases. This ensures students are consistently engaging with relevant material throughout the course, without instructors needing to wait for a new edition.

Evergreen also simplifies how courses are managed over time. Once a course is built, its full structure, including assignments, assessments, and instructional design, remains in place from term to term, eliminating the need to rebuild courses each semester. Content updates are automatically integrated, giving instructors the flexibility to decide what to apply, while reducing the time spent on course maintenance. For Professor Thomas, that continuity means the work he puts into building his course carries forward each semester, without needing to rebuild from scratch. By delivering timely updates, the Evergreen model supports a more consistent course experience, where content and delivery evolve over time, creating ongoing value for instructors and learners compared to traditional revision cycles.
