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.
  • 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
  • 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
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.
  • Ability for students to practice before major quizzes or exams
  • Students being able to monitor their own progress
  • Being able to identify struggling students.
  • Students have been more successful in the course
  • Able to intervene and help struggling students early
  • Less time spent on grading

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.

  • Providing exams
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.

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 similar. I am an accounting instructor, so the content is well-defined and standardized.

WileyPLUS is the online book and homework system for my course. I have been very happy with the integration with canvas which saves time and keeps grades automatically updated. The e-text displays through VitalSource so students can highlight and make flashcards out of the text. There are supportive topical videos, interactives, and multimedia support for course topics. I teach organic chemistry, so I really appreciate the mechanism and synthesis explorer questions that can be pooled! They make improvements often and are responsive to feedback. They have adaptive assignments that you can define by the sections of text covered (content-adaptive). There are a few errors in the homework questions and some questions are too broad leaving students guessing what format they should use for the answer. I would recommend WileyPLUS!
  • Customer service! Whenever I have trouble, they are quick to help!
  • The conversational tone of the text is easily understood by students and the drawings/visuals are excellent!
  • Integration with canvas makes grading the online homework effortless!
  • 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.
I have 450 students, so I couldn't grade homework for that many students and give feedback if that is all I did all day! It is great for large courses and encourages interaction with the material! The integration with canvas is essential for extra-large courses - I would never go back now! Really, whether you have 20 or 450 it gives students an opportunity to work through the material with fast feedback which aids in learning the material.
  • Integration with Canvas!
  • Follett pricing to make it more affordable with per-course pricing.
  • Adaptive learning exercises.
  • Positive results with learning - those that do all their homework average about 10 points higher on my exams.
I like the mechanistic approach and taught that way for several years. Klein makes a nice meeting point between the traditional, by-the-functional-group way of approaching the material and the mechanistic approach with common patterns pointed out and grouped along the way. It is one of the best, clearly written texts on Organic Chemistry on the market!! It isn't overly dry and intimidating, but more conversational - like a tutor guiding you through the foundational topic or thought process. The graphics are clear and understandable with good use of color. The canvas integration is wonderful! The adaptive practice is growing on me - I started a skeptic, but students really like the by-learning-objective feedback. From term to term, you can easily turn your homework assignments over for the next term if you like to assign specific questions.

I use WileyPLUS for two different courses I teach, one on the main campus at Western and one with Western Continuing Studies. The software allows students to complete assigned textbook-based homework questions online and with ease.
  • Uses Canvas platform.
  • Integrates with textbook.
  • Excellent customer support.
  • More flexibility.
  • Ability to edit and write own questions.
Well suited as a complement to a class or for a fully online class. The system would be functional to manage all aspects of online learning,
  • Integration with textbook.
  • Customer support.
  • Continual content updates.
  • Allowed students to complete homework problems online.
  • Additional flexibility for students and instructors.
WileyPLUS is great for integration with Wiley textbooks. Unfortunately, it does not integrate with Sakai learning management system.

I have used WileyPLUS as an online tool to help my students practice the concepts that are taught in class. I especially like that they are continuously adapting and evolving. They take their users input into consideration as they bring out new versions of WileyPLUS. My students love the videos that are accessible via Orion. I have been a WileyPLUS user for a few years now.
  • Their videos
  • The range of questions per learning objective
  • The layout
  • Integration could be a little challenging at times
  • More quantitative examples-excel based questions. This is just for the book that I use so it should not be considered a missing functionality.
  • More algorithmic questions. This is just for the book that I use so it should not be considered a missing functionality.
It is well suited for a host of accounting courses but not as much for capstone courses. The capstone courses require in-depth analysis of cases so its a lot more descriptive. I don't use WileyPLUS for courses that are heavy on case studies.
  • The ROI is positive
  • It is a good learning tool
  • Their support is exceptional
Each has its own strengths. I am just so used to WileyPLUS that it would not be a fair comparison as I have not explored Connect as well as I have WileyPLUS.
