WileyPLUS

The education sector experienced many changes over the last decade. The internet transformed the way that information is accessed and delivered. With that, schools are changing the way they teach. Learning management systems are now a staple in places like universities. Course content that was once only available in textbooks are now available as videos and websites.

Platforms like WileyPLUS aim to increase student access to learning. They achieve this through their learning tools and content available on their platform.

What is WileyPLUS

WileyPLUS is a web-based learning platform for instructors and students. They provide multi-media course content that instructors can tailor for their class. Instructors can use WileyPLUS’s content as a supplement to existing Wiley textbooks and in class teaching.

Students going to school at places that use WileyPLUS can sign up for an account through the website. The platform provides access to instructor customized course content along with other learning tools.

As a subsidiary of John Wiley & Son, a textbook publishing company, much of the course content is geared to post-secondary subjects. Instructors and education institutions can purchase accounts for students as a supplement to existing textbooks and courseware.

How instructors can use WileyPLUS

For instructors, WileyPlus provides customizable course content for a wide range of subjects. They can select the subjects they teach and customize the learning modules, assignments, and quizzes. In each course, all the necessary course content to achieve the learning objectives is available in video format. This means that instructors can opt to deliver the majority of the course on the platform if they like.

The platform also marks assigned homework and quizzes. This reduces the marking workload for instructors, allowing them to focus on facilitating. Analytics on student progress is also available. Instructors can track who is learning and who may need more assistance.

WileyPLUS also has wealth of resources available to instructors. Programs like the Instructor Academy provide videos and support on how to use the platform. The topics covered include how to navigate to the gradebook and how to integrate to existing learning management systems.

Instructors can sign up for WileyPLUS through the website. Course content is organized by subject and matches corresponding textbooks are available from John Wiley and Sons Inc. The platform charges by students and instructors can choose what features they want as part of the platform.

Benefits for students

For students, the WileyPLUS platform provides enhances the learning experience in many ways. First, they provide content in videos, assignment questions, and digital textbook. Students with different learning styles can choose who they want to absorb the learning.

Next, students can complete assignment questions on the platform and get feedback immediately. This is valuable as it helps students learn from their mistakes sooner rather than waiting for questions to be graded. Students can apply the feedback in their next assignment rather than making the same mistakes.

Additionally, students can increase the amount of practice they get with material. Having access to videos mean they can review content as often as they need. The assignment and quiz question bank enable students to get additional practice beyond what instructors assign. Both features help reinforce student learning.

The platform’s adaptive learning provides customized learning plans for each student. As the student completes modules, the plan adapts to update the learning plan to address any gaps in understanding. This customization focuses students on mastering their weaknesses.

To sign up, students can login to a course through the WileyPLUS website. If they are logging in for the first time, they will want to click Login and then Find Your Course. Search for a course either by a six-digit course ID or by searching for the school. Students need only to search for their course once; the next time they login they can just use their login and password.

Testimonials

Our Clients Love the Professional Leadership Institute

Your team will, too! Check out some reviews from our students.
The PLI program was invaluable to our network.
The range of topics delivered, the open dialogue, experience, and examples that PLI brought to each session were outstanding and provided a path for our Franchisees and Managers to look at leadership, coaching, and connecting with their teams in a new light. Many have implemented these strategies in their bakeries and have seen immediate results.

Highly recommend to help your team move forward
We have locations around BC and Alberta, so getting people on the same page can be very difficult... Until now. Our entire management team and location managers take the same great courses and then meet monthly online with our coach to apply it to our situation. People are engaged, the courses are excellent, we love our coach, and we are all learning together!
Jason Fawcett
President, Kelson Group
The result has been a transformation of our culture. 
We decided to implement PLI's strategies across the country in over 150 locations and over 3500 employees.  The result has been a transformation of our culture.  People's lives have been positively impacted - professionally and personally.  Morale is high and sales and profits are up as a result.

We’ve learned how to fix ongoing personnel issues once and for all
The roadmap laid out set our business up to quintuple in sales.  We've learned how to fix ongoing personnel issues once and for all, attract top talent, and spend our time focused on results, not internal staffing problems.  I highly recommend PLI to you - it's worked for us!

Satisfied Client
I had no idea that running a business could be this fun!
In less than 18 months of working with Trevor, he has transformed my business from being average to exceptional, where mediocrity is not acceptable, where being great is standard.  Working with PLI has allowed me to realize my dream of not simply owning a job, but owning a business.
Justin Bontkes
Principal, Caliber Projects
Our culture has taken major steps forward this year
Our culture has taken major steps forward this year with Trevor’s help.  He is funny, relatable, and his tools are very very practical and have helped us focus and upgrade our teams throughout our retail network. Trevor recently spoke to an employee group, and one person remarked, “I could listen to Trevor all day.”   We would highly recommend Trevor.
Stan Pridham
Founder, KMS Tools
The results have been remarkable
At first, we resisted, “This just won’t work with a law firm.” But we persisted and the results have been remarkable: our client base and profits have steadily improved, and staff engagement and morale is the healthiest its ever been.
Doug Lester
Partner, RDM Lawyers
Helped our fast-growing business become what it is today
I've experienced PLI's approach first hand and it's been crucial to sustaining our growth.  I can't imagine a business that wouldn't benefit greatly from his help.

Founder, TEEMA
Provided practical ways to make positive changes
Trevor was incredibly well-received by the entire organization. He was able to articulate people issues that many of our franchisees were experiencing and provided them with practical ways to make positive changes. We have implemented the Star Chart tool across the organization and see it as vital to building happy, effective teams.
