    Chose WileyPLUS
    I don't select the text, but I like WileyPLUS. It is user-friendly, and the program managers are responsive to feedback for their updates. I've used several other texts including Pearson and Cengage; in reality, the interfaces and functionality of these programs are very …

    Chose WileyPLUS
    I am not familiar with the Pathbrite version of Cengage, but previous Cengage products left us better off on our own which is why we switched to WileyPLUS.

    Cengage WebAssign is similar to other online textbook softwares I've used while teaching accounting online. It's a stable platform and seems easy for students to use, even if they are not extremely computer savvy.

    It's a good platform that has some very good content. We use Canvas as our learning management platform. It is nice to be able to integrate some of the pre-build WileyPLUS course modules into our Canvas course. Other publishers are good too and they sync with Canvas, but I find Wiley's Canvas modules easy to use and customize.

    • There are a few errors in the homework answers.
    • Some questions could be worded better to help students better match the formatting expectations when they change throughout the chapter.
    • The offline PDF of the text should always be included in any online package.

    24-7 support is available by phone, chat, or email. They also hold annual events which I have been blessed to attend twice. The staff is excellent. They are knowledgeable and genuinely care about you and your students. There are online forums for instructors to collaborate, learn, and have fun. Instructors receive gift cards for their participation too!

    I think all of these softwares are fairly similar in set up and ease of use. I am provided Cengage WebAssign with my pre-built SNHU courses.

    WileyPLUS is far better than one competing product I have used and noticeably better than a second competing product I have tested. I prefer not to name the other products. It is much easier to operate from an instructor perspective. Given the low level of questions it generates from students, I am certain it is easy for students to pick up and the level of Wiley support given to me and to students is great.

    Wiley
    • Decreased, significantly, my grading time. No more manual grading of work. It is more of a review that allows me to target specific areas and specific students.
    • Students now have resources to help them learn the content when they are away from class.
    • Students get immediate feedback (depending on instructor settings) on problem areas and the ability to learn from their mistakes without having to wait for the instructor.
