Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This is a fantastic mechanism to provide continuous learning to all employees, this platform has unparalleled features and tools to measure employee behavior during learning of each learning material, Open LMS It is quite a complete software, it provides monitoring in real time of each one of the employees, as well as it allows to share and manage the learning material that it provides to your employees. One of the things I liked the most was: 1.- The great availability of languages ​​with respect to the learning material that you find within this platform, when you access the list of learning material to access various courses, information books, are available in the vast majority of languages, which It helps you to have a corresponding learning depending on the language you use within your company, it does not matter if the language is Spanish or English, Italian, in the same way the learning material can be changed in a matter of minutes. 2.- Another thing that I like is that this platform provides real-time monitoring of the learning that my employees are having. As a manager of the project sector, it is very important for me that I did not wear a size 2 and that they have very good cognitive abilities. developed, and this platform allows me to measure in real time the progress that the three employees are having during the learning of a material that I had previously provided. The progress is seen in real time and that helps me to know exactly if the employee is having the correct learning. 3.- I also love that the prices that this platform has for a subscription are quite low, which helps the vast majority of our employees within the company to access it and obtain the corresponding learning material. It is also important to mention that I loved the Twitter word that I enjoyed about this platform, I lasted about a week using a free trial period until I decided to buy a plan within the platform, I do not regret it at all since I have obtained noticeable results. The free trial was completely beneficial, it gave me the necessary tools to adapt to the platform. 4.- Another thing that I like is that this platform provides free learning material, there is a lot of interesting learning material, you can learn or take a course about marketing, sales and many other things, it has a lot of learning material learning within its library that is quite valuable, you will have a lot of variety when choosing what you want to learn.

Cons

  • The only negative thing that was not close to this platform is regarding its mobile application, I have downloaded this application on my iOS device, I really do not regret downloading it since I can have a corresponding monitoring of the learning of all the employees, however, I consider this application to have an interface that leaves much to be desired, the general interface of the application is quite simple, with a white background and blue bars, I would like the interface to be totally modifiable by users, so that users feel much more comfortable and can customize the interface as they see fit. In my opinion, this interface should be much more optimal, allowing users to have greater comfort when using it, as is the case with the PC version. Regarding the functionality of this platform, I admit that I have never presented any type of failure, the monitoring of the learning material and the courses that our employees are taking has always been positive, I have never presented any type of error.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The login usually works. Math solutions, when entered, will usually accepts equivalents (ie non-simplified fractions, existing/non-existing commas. However, note this is NOT true for decimals). The numbers on math problems are randomized, which seems nice from an instructor perspective. It does make it almost impossible for the poor TAs to efficiently help students and more difficult for students to understand a process (when using as a study guide), but I feel this is more a attributable to the fact that WileyPLUS provides no feedback on the incorrect portions of an answer or explanations on how to solve. There are no ads on the website.
  • The etextbooks are alright. They are better done than the ones some of the other big textbook companies format, so I'll give them that as a positive.

Cons

  • Price: D Very expensive, about $100 per class per quarter. This adds up quickly over four years, three (or four) quarters per year, and 3-6 classes per quarter. I weep for our financial aid students: Textbook: C+ Textbook is difficult to use (arbitrarily chunked into sections, no scrolling, filled with annoying video links, can’t copy-paste for note-taking), and a wonder of bad design practice (forced to click through multiple submenus to reach related information, zero useful summaries, rambling and often inaccurate examples that only address 1/4 of the topic/problem covered, no ability to try practice problems or even print out practice quizzes). I REALLY prefer a good old fashioned pdf with a definition, explanation, and two fully solved examples over the mess that is the Wiley plus textbook; It’s so difficult to change chapters and find the info you’re looking for that I usually just gave up. Homework Tool: F- As a homework submission tool, it’s TERRIBLE. A large portion of HW is to help students learn/integrate info through repetition (Instructure’s learning mastery tool does this well, namely by providing feedback and, upon failure, explanation of how to solve a problem) , and Wiley plus does none of this, nor does it work well as a knowledge check. The most it can do is work as a test of how good students are at googling solutions. Integration: D- My school integrates WileyPlus into their Canvas systems, which sounds great in theory but sucks in reality. Upon clicking the Wiley Plus link, your student Canvas app becomes a blue colored duplicate of the Canvas system. You can now access your Wiley Plus assignments… by clicking on the in-app assignment, which will open and in app browser window, which will open a pop-up, which opens another in-app browser window, which allows you to access your assignment. Now, you’d think the positive to this integration would be that WileyPlus Assignments will now show up inside the Canvas assignment tab, wouldn’t you. Tough luck. Due dates are hidden, there’s no notification when anything is assigned/a deadline is approaching, and to switch ‘between’ your WileyPlus and Canvas assignments you’re forced to log out and log back in of the SAME app and click through multiple menu pages, again. Big failure on the frontend and backend sides.
  • Another textbook company that's directly contributed to the absurd prices they've gotten to that produces very poor quality material. Using their homework system is a pain for students, as it's, like the other big giants, poorly designed and overly specific in a way that's not intuitive to anyone but whatever programmers made it. This then makes for a headache for the teacher, having to guide students through problems they definitely know how to do, but not how to get the Wiley software to accept their obviously correct answer. You'll also find problems where the answers are just plain wrong.
