Academic Application: Macmillan Learning

Macmillan Learning is a higher education publisher offering a suite of digital learning products centered around Achieve, their flagship online learning platform. Achieve combines an interactive eTextbook, adaptive quizzing (LearningCurve), auto-graded homework, goal-setting surveys, and instructor analytics into a single integrated course environment.

Macmillan integrates with Brightspace at Villanova. Faculty pair their Achieve course with their LMS course; students then access all Macmillan content through a link in the LMS without needing a separate login.

Faculty: Build a customized Achieve course with your course's reading assignments, adaptive quizzes, homework, and assessments. Link the course to Brightspace to enable single sign-on and grade sync.

Students: Access the Macmillan eTextbook, complete homework and adaptive quizzing, and view performance feedback through the LMS course link. A Macmillan account or Inclusive Access code is required.

Access Macmillan Achieve through the LMS course link (single sign-on from Brightspace). Faculty also access course management at macmillanlearning.com. Students access materials directly through the LTI link installed by the professor or through the link generated by the publisher and shared by the instructor. Students must use their school email address when registering at the publisher's website.

Separate Macmillan account (macmillanlearning.com). First-time users link their LMS account to their Macmillan account through a one-time single sign-on process when they click the course link. After that initial linking, students access Macmillan directly through the LMS.
