Categories & Use Cases

Wiley Plus is great!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

WileyPlus helps me grade students' work with auto-grading. It gives the students immediate feedback that I could not provide. Wiley Plus provides many tools for my students, such as the etext, videos, flashcards, audio text, and more videos. I really like the Adaptive Assignment, because it helps the students see their weak points.

Pros

  • Auto-grading- provides immediate feedback to students.
  • Adaptive assignment- helps the students see their weak areas.
  • Video, videos, and more videos! There are solution walk-through videos, interactive tutorials, and real-world videos.
  • Tech support- I get help when I need it, right away!

Cons

  • In an ideal world, there would be no errors.
  • No typos. (especially in the power points)
  • They need better error reporting in Adaptive Assignment.

Most Important Features

  • Auto-graded exercises and problems.
  • Great tech support.
  • So many resources for the students to use.

Return on Investment

  • 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!

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.

Most Important Features

  • Ease of use.
  • Price.
  • Results that students are getting.

Return on Investment

  • Students are achieving better grades.
  • Are more engaged with the material.
