Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As you probably can relate to, I am struggling with students to read the chapters. WileyPLUS has helped me a lot in getting closer to my goal of getting students to read the assigned chapters by making WileyPLUS’ adaptive practices part of the grade. The adaptive practices WileyPLUS developed are unique and set themselves apart from other publishers. If students try to attempt to complete the questions found in adaptive practices without reading the corresponding chapters, they will have a hard time receiving the full credit. A student who is well prepared when starting the adaptive practices will be able to identify the concepts they are still struggling with and which concepts they have mastered. In contrast, a student who is struggling with a particular concept may be prompted to review and answer questions related to earlier concepts relevant to the current concepts. For example, a student struggling with the physiological changes related to stress may be prompted to review concepts first introduced in the biology chapter to ensure that they have mastered the concept.

Pros

  • Engage students with materials.
  • Help students review.
  • Help students practice the material.

Cons

  • I really can't think of anything.
  • Make WileyPLUS compatible with Safari.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works great for asynchronous online courses and synchronous face-to-face courses. There really isn't a scenario where it is less suited for.

WileyPLUS provides good value

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it for our accounting classes. It intergrades well with Canvas. They have quality content and are relevant to meet our teaching needs. Several of their textbooks has a data analytics component which is very helpful.

Pros

  • Quality content - the materials were developed by faculty who have lots of experience in the field. Several of their textbooks have a data analytics component which is very helpful for our students.
  • Great customer support - representatives from Wiley are very good at returning emails and they are very attentive to any needs that we have for their products.
  • Good value - I believe their textbooks along with their learning supplements provide very good value for faculty and our students.

Cons

  • I have compared them with other publishers and I can't think of any at the moment. Other publishers may have several titles for the same subject as Wiley, which provides more options for instructors to pick from, but I personally don't think it's an issue.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Using Kieso's Intermediate Accounting? Add WileyPLUS.

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WileyPLUS is our homework and material platform for intermediate accounting students. Students enroll in this platform, and their homework is administered there. The platform also includes direct links to an e-textbook that corresponds to the topic.

Pros

  • Provides students with e-textbook access.
  • Provides professors with a platform to administer assignments (up to, and including, exams)
  • Grades assignments automatically.
  • Provides links by topic to extra resources (even at 2 am!)

Cons

  • Pre-designed assignments are too long and difficult to edit.
  • Algorithmic assignments continue for too many problems.

Likelihood to Recommend

The Wiley Intermediate Textbook is the best in the industry. Pairing it with WileyPLUS is a "no-brainer".

Whatever a student might need, it can be found in WileyPlus.

Pros

  • Excellent e-textbook.
  • Adaptive practice with learning paths customized for each student.
  • Videos, updates, lots of exercises.

It is a great tool for all types of educational settings.

  • WileyPLUS provides excellent Power Point Slides.
  • They provide up-to-date learning materials.
  • They have very supportive customer service team.

Cons

  • They could provide simplified steps to set up a homework assignment.
  • The selections of different features could be displayed on the same webpage with different tabs.

With the help of WileyPLUS, instructors can prepare the teaching efficiently using pre-build Power Point Slides and solutions, and set up homework assignment and exams from abundant resources.

Hang in there, WileyPLUS is here for you!

Rating: 9 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use WileyPLUS in my Introduction to Psychology Course. It has some incredible and unique features that help students achieve academic success in today's online learning environment. For example, auto-graded assignments where students get immediate feedback, the Orion Adaptive Practice allows students to practice based on their individual needs, and it integrates nicely into Canvas which I use extensively for teaching.

Pros

  • Allows educators to tailor the products to their curriculum
  • Is accessible to all students regardless of learning styles
  • Allows you to monitor student progress so you can catch struggling students early

Cons

  • Would like more hands on activities and/or labs that students could use in the course
  • Make it easier to grade some of the homework. It doesn't always catch small details that are missing

Likelihood to Recommend

It is great for scenarios where you have a diverse group of students. In my case, I teach high school students, traditional college students, and non-traditional students. It's nice that it fits a broad spectrum of students. Also, it does well meeting the needs of students with most disabilities. It is probably less appropriate for instructors that don't use Canvas or other learning management tools for teaching, or those teachers who are not flexible and/or care about their student's success.

WileyPLUS

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use WileyPLUS as the E-text for my accounting classes. Students also utilize additional resources and complete problem sets/exams on the site. This creates a great alternative to classroom lectures and paper assignment submissions for the online environment. I have used the online version of WileyPLUS for many years, and each version becomes more user-friendly.

Pros

  • Grading
  • Providing information
  • Providing exams

Likelihood to Recommend

WileyPLUS is well designed and has solid content. Students in a fully online environment will benefit from utilizing this software. I also think it would still be useful in a hybrid or traditional classroom environment although I have not used it in that setting. The immediate feedback and grading would still be useful for students in more traditional learning environments.
