Considered Both Products	Synap No answer on this topic	WileyPLUS Verified User Anonymous Chose WileyPLUS I entered "Connect and MyLab" in the previous question, but it won't take it for some reason. At any rate, they are very similar, and WileyPLUS does have a slight advantage because it integrates with Canvas. Incentivized Helpful?

CK Carol Kroeker Professor Chose WileyPLUS customer service and pricing was much better with Wiley Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose WileyPLUS WileyPLUS is great for integration with Wiley textbooks. Unfortunately, it does not integrate with Sakai learning management system. Incentivized Helpful? DM DeAnna Martin Accounting Professor Chose WileyPLUS While using Connect, I felt like a number. McGraw is such a huge company, so I did not get personalized service. Wiley is a smaller company, and I feel like an important person to them, based on the good service I receive from them. Incentivized Helpful? Jessica Woolworth Assistant Professor of Accounting Chose WileyPLUS I've used Pearson, but WileyPlus support is amazing. Both instructor and student support whereas it's hard to get through to Pearson. Also, the online activities such as interactive tutorials and homework walkthrough videos within WileyPlus are great.

User Testimonials
	Synap	WileyPLUS
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	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.

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	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! Incentivized Liza Bondurant Associate Professor Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	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. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	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!
