BIO-Concepts
By OpenStax
BIO Concepts is designed for an introductory biology course for nonmajors, covering the major themes of biology in a way that is meaningful and easy to understand.
Delivered through WileyPLUS, BIO Concepts pairs Openstax College’s non-majors Biology textbook with high-quality instructor resources, animations, assessment, and support. This digital learning environment allows instructors to customize the course by hiding or rearranging learning objectives, setting the pacing of content, and integrating videos, files, or links to relevant material to create the perfect course for each instructor. For students, BIO Concepts provides a clear learning path through the content, while providing the tools and resources required for success.
Introductory Biology students have a wide array of skills and experiences, and it can challenging for instructors to meet the needs of all students. With Wiley’s Adaptive Practice, students are provided a personalized learning experience that addressed their areas of weakness and adapts to their needs, while providing instructors with valuable analytics into student performance.
