Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Schedule of Segment Reporting Information, by Segment

Segment information is as follows:

			Three Months Ended July 31,
			2023						2022
Revenue:
Research			$	257,804					$	274,913
Learning			109,320						119,647
Held for Sale or Sold			83,889						93,009
Total revenue			$	451,013					$	487,569
Adjusted Contribution to Profit:
Research			$	53,527					$	69,104
Learning			7,626						3,741
Held for Sale or Sold			3,084						(14,108)
Total adjusted contribution to profit			64,237						58,737
Adjusted corporate contribution to profit			(41,774)						(48,667)
Less: Held for Sale or Sold Segment Adjusted Contribution to Profit (1)			(3,084)						14,108
Total adjusted operating income			$	19,379					$	24,178
Depreciation and Amortization:
Research			$	23,212					$	23,801
Learning			13,552						14,055
Held for Sale or Sold (2)			3,437						16,267
Total depreciation and amortization			40,201						54,123
Corporate depreciation and amortization			3,527						4,156
Total depreciation and amortization			$	43,728					$	58,279

(1)			Our Adjusted Operating Income excludes the impact of our Held for Sale or Sold Segment Adjusted Operating Income results.
(2)			In the three months ended July 31, 2023, we ceased to record depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets for these businesses as of the date the assets were classified as held-for-sale. On January 1, 2020, Wiley acquired mthree, a talent placement provider that addresses the IT skills gap by finding, training, and placing job-ready technology talent in roles with leading corporations worldwide. Its results of operations are included in our Held for Sale or Sold segment. In late May 2022, Wiley renamed the mthree talent development solution to Wiley Edge and discontinued use of the mthree trademark during the three months ended July 31, 2022. As a result of these actions, we determined that a revision of the useful life was warranted and the intangible asset was fully amortized over its remaining useful life resulting in accelerated amortization expense of $4.6 million in the three months ended July 31, 2022. This amortization expense was an adjustment to the Held for Sale or Sold Adjusted contribution to profit. In addition, it was included in Depreciation and amortization in the table above for segment reporting.

Reconciliation of Consolidated US GAAP Operating Income to Non-GAAP Adjusted Contribution to Profit

The following table shows a reconciliation of our consolidated US GAAP Operating Loss to Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Income:

			Three Months Ended July 31,

Held for Sale or Sold segment Adjusted Contribution to Profit (3)			(3,084)						14,108
