23. Problems addressed using Waymaker Psychology • High cost to students • Previous textbook cost $70-$150 depending on the format • Did not include interactive learning tools; additional $70 • Students did not buy the book • Time needed to provide detailed feedback • Spent a lot of time reviewing student grades to provide encouragement • Focused on students who were not performing well • Neglected to encourage students who were performing well • Time needed to design tailored instruction • Students easily understood some modules but needed more instruction on others • Spent a lot of time in class reviewing information that students mastered on their own • Did not have enough time to lead interactive lessons on the more difficult concepts

24. Why do faculty and students like Waymaker Psychology? • Improvement on the OpenStax OER • Previous OER was limited and had a lot of errors (text and quizzes) • Typos have been corrected • More material has been added to fill in conceptual gaps • Supplemental materials are more robust: PPT, assignments, quizzes • Ease of use • Waymaker easily fits within our LMS; no new system to learn or gradebook to integrate • Study plans and quizzes are easy to navigate, even for new students • Simple to move, add, and remove course elements • Overall quiz scores on each module allow me to provide targeted in-class instruction • Feedback to students • Students are encouraged by the positive feedback, even after they realize it is automated • Students often reply to the automated email with more details, allowing me to easily engage with them about any topic of interest • It frees me up to use my time to plan engaging class activities on the more difficult concepts
