TestInvite vs. WileyPLUS

Very supportive, evolved quickly, had a markedly more advanced experience with them from the first year we collaborated to the second as they were very open to suggestions and agile in making improvements according to our feedback. Very patient with our constant contacting and extremely congenial when handling challenging situations. As mentioned in the suggested improvements, a more modernized look and feel to the user interface would add much value to the experience.

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.

• Very responsive to my questions and wants to make sure customers needs are met
• In my experience, invested in their customer needs and do what they can to meet extraneous demands
• In my opinion, easy to navigate tool and software

• Great instructor support and training.
• Seek instructor feedback and input and keep implementing new updates.
• Adaptive Practice definitely helps student success and brings consistency across multiple sections, often taught by new part-time instructors.
• Integration into LMS has made the experience seamless for students and added the ease of automatic input in to the LMS gradebook.

• The platform itself is constantly being updated and streamlined to reduce bugs and increase ease of use for the user. This area constantly needs improvement for any company.
• Compatibility across devices. Users sometimes have difficulties using the service on mobile devices.
• A mobile application could be a way to improve the user interface.

• 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.

This is the most appreciated part of working with Test Invite over the last 2 years. Support was always timely, congenial, effective, and never challenging in terms of response rate or quality of reaction. Our counterpart on the Test Invite side has practically become a member of our team, as they are always extremely involved and ready to provide value while becoming very clear on our needs.

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 selected Test Invite because it was the only provider I found whose question format types and customization options fully allowed us to digitalize our placement tests and conduct them online. The availability of video and audio options in questions is a clear advantage.

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.

• Its cheaper than any other software.

• Before Wiley Plus, my students didn't do homework, because it was not possible for me to grade all their work. Now they do it to earn points needed to pass the class.
• Before Adaptive Assignment, my students really struggled with the multiple-choice part of the exam. Now my students have the opportunity to practice a plethora of questions provided to them in Adaptive Assignment. Now the exam grades are much better!
