Overview

What is it?

WileyPLUS is Wiley's digital learning platform for courses using an adopted Wiley textbook. It combines the interactive eTextbook (ReadAnywhere), auto-graded homework and practice assignments, adaptive formative practice (ORION), multimedia content, and instructor analytics in a single environment linked to Villanova's LMS.

Who is it for?

Faculty: Build a WileyPLUS course for your adopted Wiley title, configure homework, adaptive practice, and quiz assignments, pair the course with your Villanova LMS, and have grades sync automatically to Brightspace. Monitor student progress through WileyPLUS's analytics dashboard.

Students: Access the Wiley eTextbook (ReadAnywhere — available offline and on mobile), complete homework assignments, work through adaptive ORION practice sessions, and view scores in your Brightspace gradebook. Access is through the LMS course link — no separate WileyPLUS login after initial setup.

Access

Publisher direct access Students access materials direct through the LTI link installed by the professor OR through the link generated by the publisher and shared by the instructor. Students must use school email address when registering at publisher's website.

Authentication

A separate WileyPLUS account is required. Faculty and students create a WileyPLUS account using their Villanova email address. After this one-time account creation and LMS linking step (completed automatically when clicking the WileyPLUS LMS link for the first time), subsequent sessions are handled via SSO from the LMS course link.

LMS Integration
