How do I view New WileyPLUS submissions?

There are 2 ways to view submissions: view in WileyPLUS interface or view in Canvas Speedgrader.

View Submissions in Canvas Speedgrader

Because New WileyPLUS is directly embedded in Canvas, the Canvas SpeedGrader functionality can be used to view/reset student submission(s), rescore the assignment, and leave comments.

Open the Canvas SpeedGrader for the assignment. How do I get to SpeedGrader from an assignment, quiz, or graded discussion?

The student's submission(s) will appear in the SpeedGrader just as any other assignment. From there, you can click on specific questions to see the student's response(s).

How to Edit New WileyPLUS assignments?

Never change a due date or point values from the WileyPLUS interface; always use Canvas!

You might see warning message(s) at the top of any assignment page; these warnings may prompt you to add a due date or adjust the points in your question set.

These messages are posted automatically by the vendor and are NOT applicable to schools that use Canvas (like ERAU!); disregard these notices.

If you do need to make a change to the assignment, you can edit the assignment due date in Canvas and this will automatically sync with WileyPlus.

How do I change the due date settings for individual students?

Because New WileyPLUS is directly embedded in Canvas, due dates parameters can be adjusted just like a normal Canvas assignment. This includes assigning to the entire class or assigning to an individual student.

By default, the due dates for New WileyPLUS assignments should already be accurate based on the template and course creation process. However, if needed, utilize the Canvas guides below to help you adjust a due date for a New WileyPLUS assignment or quiz:

Important Note

Extensions on WileyPLUS assignments should be given through Canvas, NOT in the WileyPLUS interface. Changing it in the WileyPLUS interface can cause issues.

Although you may see the option to reset the assignment or extend its due date next to individual students’ names when viewing an assignment in WileyPlus, this is not recommended. Instead, you only need to grant an extension or adjust the due date in Canvas, and this will automatically carry over.
