John Wiley and Sons Inc., (NYSE:JWA) (NYSE:JWB) today announced the
release of the Wiley
Assessment Service - a key component of their next generation
WileyPLUS product. This assessment-as-a-service offering draws upon
hundreds of hours of user interviews and research, and will enable a
seamless integration of Wiley’s best-in-class content and assessments to
WileyPLUS and to any other standards-based learning platforms.
By using the Wiley Assessment Service, educators will be able to
administer course assignments by selecting from a pool of more than 2
million of Wiley’s highly sought-after, accessible assets and more than
a dozen unique question types, including Wiley’s complex accounting and
STEM questions. Learners will be able to access instructor designed
assignments seamlessly from WileyPLUS as well as their school’s learning
management system, and receive immediate feedback for real time
remediation. The user-friendly interface promotes an intuitive,
efficient and engaging experience on any device.
“The higher education market is undergoing rapid change, demanding not
only high-quality learning materials, but materials delivered in new
ways, designed to achieve desired learning outcomes for students,” said
Ella Balagula, Executive Vice President for Knowledge and Learning at
Wiley. “To meet the needs of our customers we must develop products that
provide content in ever more flexible ways and the Wiley Assessment
Service does just that.”
Tim Stookesberry, Senior Vice President of Education at Wiley said,
“Wiley’s new assessment tool is a tremendous advance in improving
faculty workflows. It offers enhanced question discovery, enormous
control over policies and scoring and the ability to create assignments
at the individual student level – all in one easy to access place.”
The first release of the Wiley
Assessment Service will connect to the WileyPLUS next generation
product which has been in pilots since January 2018, and Canvas- the
fastest growing learning management system in the educational market.
