McGraw Hill Connect & ALEKS Architecture
McGraw Hill Connect launches assessments inside nested EZTO player iframes (ezto.mheducation.com) while ALEKS renders equations and chemistry palettes inside dynamic /alekscgi/ frames. ExamGhost handles both text DOM and visual canvas widgets without leaving your assignment tab.
In SmartBook 2.0 (learning.mheducation.com), each adaptive question pairs a concept prompt with a confidence rating (High, Medium, Low). Double-clicking the prompt in ExamGhost highlights the verified option immediately so you can select High Confidence and finish recharge concepts faster.
Connect Accounting uses multi-column general journal tables and trial balances, while ALEKS Chemistry and Math use HTML5 canvas molecules and coordinate planes. Pressing Alt+S crops the entire table or diagram and returns line-by-line journal debits/credits or exact symbolic ALEKS answers.
Most universities embed McGraw Hill Connect and ALEKS inside Canvas or Blackboard via LTI 1.3. Switching tabs to search answers triggers window.blur in both the parent LMS and the EZTO player. ExamGhost keeps your cursor and focus inside the active browser window 100% of the time.
