== Creating and managing Homework sets ==
−
WeBWorK is an [[License|open source]] Perl-based system for delivering individualized homework problems over the web. By providing students with immediate feedback as to the correctness of their answers, students are encouraged to make multiple attempts until they succeed. By individualizing problems, cheating is discouraged. By providing instructors with real-time statistics, lesson plans can be customized to better serve students. WeBWorK is partially supported by the [http://www.nsf.gov/div/index.jsp?div=DUE DUE Division] of [http://www.nsf.gov/ NSF]. (See: [[Grants,_awards,_and_support|Grants, awards, and support]].)
