Hoboken, NJ-A new agreement will bring visual interactive elements to Wiley's Knewton Alta courseware to help improve learning for college chemistry students.
Wiley (NYSE: WLY), one of the world's largest publishers and a global leader in research and learning, has partnered with Alchemie, a digital learning tools creator, to integrate Alchemie's visual interactives into the Knewton Alta Principles of General Chemistry course.
Alchemie's digital interactive learning tools are designed to increase student success in STEM courses by focusing on hands-on exploratory learning to engage students, providing immediate feedback and real-time assessment as students learn. The interactives help students better visualize complex scientific concepts and deliver immediate feedback on their progress, helping them gain deeper connections needed for long-lasting learning.
Alta Principles of General Chemistry is an introductory college chemistry course covering topics such as atoms, molecules and ions, substances and solutions, kinetics, and electrochemistry.
Alchemie's visual interactives will be seamlessly integrated into the Alta chemistry course starting in the fall. The partnership will expand to additional Wiley products in the future.
"There's great alignment with Alchemie's learning tools and the Knewton Alta platform - both are driven by building pathways for understanding by following specific learning objectives," said Julia Winter, CEO and founder of Alchemie.
