WileyPLUS is an interactive online learning environment that makes the business course come alive by engaging students beyond the words in the text. With WileyPLUS, we continue to Move Business Forward, Faster by helping today’s students succeed in the Introductory Business course with relevant study resources, access to current business information, and support material to reinforce key business concepts. Instructors can now engage students with different learning styles through relevant, timely, interactive, assignable activities.
- Greensburg, KS Continuing Case Video – In these videos you will visit the town devastated by a horrific tornado, and the people who are rebuilding their lives and their town with a little business ingenuity and a lot of persistence. There is a new video correlated to the end of each part of the text that can be used to show the integration of the topics the students have just been reading about throughout the previous chapters. Throughout the text, the new video cases combine the entrepreneurial and creative spirit with which Greensburg is being rebuilt.
- Audio Summaries – Available in English and Spanish, these reviews give the students a quick overview of the main chapter concepts for student review on-the-go. Students can download audio summaries to computers, iPods, iPhones, or any mp3 player and have access anytime, anywhere.
- Case Study Animations –These are pulled from the “Ethical Controversy” and “Hit & Miss” boxes in each chapter. The printed text case comes alive as the student is walked through the case with both narrative and additional visuals. Following the case explanation, the student is presented with several critical thinking evaluation questions about specific elements in the case. The student then receives feedback on their responses, and is then asked to select a conclusion from three possible choices. Following their selected conclusion, the case study generates a project (as a downloadable worksheet) that the student can complete for additional work and submit to their instructor. This is a great classroom extension project to get students into the book for both face to face and fully online courses.
