Publisher John Wiley and Sons Inc. has announced plans to expand its partnership with Instructure, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) technology company. Together, the companies will move beyond the current WileyPLUS integration and test prep courses to leverage the Canvas platform to build the next generation of higher education courseware.
Combining Wiley's best-in-class content and robust assessment experience with the ease of use and customisation capabilities of the Canvas platform, the next generation of Wiley courseware will help instructors personalise learning within a technology-enabled education landscape that is continually changing.
Since the launch of WileyPLUS in 2002, Wiley has pioneered courseware in higher education, helping millions of users improve learning outcomes in important quantitative subject areas such as Accounting and the STEM disciplines. The next generation of courses will make it easier for instructors to get started with populated modules and take advantage of course personalisation capabilities. Canvas is fully interoperable through open standards, allowing institutions to create a customised ecosystem of applications. With hundreds of partners and integrated tools to choose from, Canvas provides one of the most flexible and powerful platforms available on the market today.
Beginning in late 2018, users moving to the next generation courses in select disciplines will benefit from mobile enabled tools that help students stay on track with assignments and class completion.
