Introduction
Most McGraw Hill K-12 programs offer a mobile version of the course eBooks. The McGraw Hill K-12 Portal app enables you to download and view eBooks even when you are not connected to the internet. In addition to offline access, students will now be able to annotate and complete work in their eBook that will sync with the platform once the student is back online.
Be aware that the McGraw Hill K-12 Portal app does not include planning, assigning, or testing capabilities. Accessing program content and resources for programs using a web browser is also explained.
Install the App
Follow the steps below to install the McGraw Hill K-12 Portal app on a device running a supported operating system. Go to McGraw Hill System Requirements to check the system requirements. If your device meets the system requirements:

3. Select the McGraw Hill K-12 Portal icon.

4. Follow your normal process to install the McGraw Hill K-12 Portal App.
Log In
1. Launch the McGraw Hill K-12 Portal App.
2. Enter your username and password.
This is the same username and password you use to sign in at my.mheducation.com.
You can access the McGraw Hill K-12 Portal app from the web browser if you're using a device such as a tablet, iPad, or Chromebook.

Download eBooks
The My Classes page contains all of your licensed eBooks. If your account has several books, select the title you wish to access. A program may have one or more eBooks. Tap the download icon next to the eBook to begin the download process. Be aware that it may take several minutes to download each eBook depending on the download speed in your current location. Remain connected to the internet while downloading eBooks.
Remove eBooks
To provide offline access, eBooks are downloaded and saved on your mobile device. The number of books that can be downloaded is dependent on the amount of storage space on your device. To remove eBooks and free up storage space on your device, on the My Classes page, go to the Download Manager (icon in the top right). Swipe left on the eBook you wish to remove and click the delete button.
Open Books and Resources
To open a downloaded eBook, select the book title. Keep in mind that functionality is limited when using a tablet device. Greater functionality is provided by accessing the program using a web browser on the device.
It is recommended that teachers access the program resources, such as videos and worksheets, using a web browser as the majority of teacher resources are not available through the app.
Access Through Web Browser
It is recommended that teachers access program resources, such as videos and worksheets, using the Chrome browser. Follow these steps to access program content:
1. Launch a web browser on your mobile device and go to my.mheducation.com.
2. Enter the same username and password you use to access your programs.
3. Navigate to class and program resources just as you would on a computer or laptop.
Third-Party Apps
Worksheets and other resources open up as PDFs on mobile devices. There are a wide variety of apps that enable users to save and annotate PDF content. A few apps that store content include Dropbox, Google Drive™, Microsoft OneDrive™, Evernote®, and iCloud®. Annotation and notetaking apps include PDF Writer, Adobe® Reader®, Pages®, Evernote®, Microsoft OneNote™, Notability, Google Docs™, Google Keep™, and Simplenote, to name a few.
Offline Access
Student eBooks can be viewed without an internet connection. Be sure to download eBooks completely before going offline. Students can annotate and complete work in their eBook while offline. All work completed offline in the eBook will synchronize with the platform once the student is back online and has logged into the app.
Teachers and students need to remain logged in to the app if they plan to view eBooks offline. If a user logs out of the app, an internet connection is required to log back in.
