General FAQs

No, anyone can use HMH AI Tools! Our tools are designed to support teaching and learning across a wide range of content, even if a specific program isn't supported yet.

You can still generate instructional materials, differentiate content, and create activities aligned to your classroom needs by entering your own prompts or adapting existing content. The listed programs simply provide pre-aligned starting points, but the tools themselves are flexible and can be used with any curriculum.

We use the latest OpenAI models that best fit each task. Our tools are thoughtfully designed and regularly updated to ensure reliable, high-quality support for teaching and learning.

HMH uses a human-centered approach to AI, combining large language models trained on public data with research-based content and carefully designed prompts to improve accuracy and alignment with curriculum. However, AI can still make mistakes, so users should always review and verify AI-generated content before using it in the classroom.

We have not encountered hallucination (when AI generates false or misleading information presented as fact). HMH uses a higher-end OpenAI language model than what typical users access, ensuring more reliable responses. While our AI is trained on publicly available data we don’t control, we enhance accuracy by adding research-based content and carefully crafted prompts. Still, AI can make mistakes, so users should always review and verify AI-generated content before classroom use.

Most assets can be exported to Google Docs, PDF, Word, or PPT files. If you use Writable, the "Create in Writable" option lets you automatically send AI-generated content from compatible tools into Writable as an assignment, ready to assign or customize.

HMH curriculum is carefully created and vetted by experts to deliver consistent, high-quality instruction. In contrast, AI-generated content is produced on-demand by AI to help teachers customize and adapt materials for their classroom needs. While HMH continuously refines AI outputs with teacher feedback to improve accuracy and relevance, AI content can vary and should always be reviewed before use.

HMH is actively supporting professional learning for AI Tools this Fall, including:

HMH AI Tools are designed for teachers only and do not collect student work, so they don’t generate reports directly. However, teachers can send AI-generated content to Writable as assignments, where student work is tracked and formative data is available in Writable dashboards. In the future, Writable data will be integrated into HMH dashboards, with ongoing consideration of customer feedback for reporting features.

At HMH, we believe in creating AI solutions that are human-centered and controlled by educators. Our goal is to help teachers boost productivity, creativity and effectiveness in their workflows, allowing more time for meaningful connections with students. We also believe that innovation should never come at the expense of responsibility. Guided by our GenAI principles, we prioritize teacher empowerment, student safety, and ethical use as we build new solutions.

We are closely monitoring the environmental impact of AI use to ensure our practices are responsible and transparent. Recent advancements in AI models mean the energy footprint of each prompt is continually decreasing. As we expand our AI capabilities, you can trust that HMH will prioritize responsible choices in partnerships and product usage policies. Our commitment is to deliver innovative solutions that support your goals while upholding the highest standards of sustainability and corporate responsibility.
