McGraw Hill deployed Sharpen Advantage, an AI-powered enterprise study platform for higher education institutions, which analyzes student engagement and performance data to identify learning gaps, flag at-risk students, and predict individual academic outcomes.

Sharpen Advantage launched in September 2025 as an enterprise expansion of the Sharpen study app, which had been downloaded by over 1 million learners since its 2022 introduction. The platform includes Radar, an AI-enabled dashboard that gives faculty and administrators real-time visibility into student knowledge gaps by course, cohort, and learning objective. Machine learning engines identify engagement and knowledge gaps, proactively flag struggling students, and recommend targeted study activities. A generative AI feature called Ask Sharpen allows students to ask questions or upload notes and receive personalized study support grounded in vetted McGraw Hill content. Institutional data is not used to train external AI models.
