WeBWorK Question Server
The WeBWorK Question Server, abbreviated WWQS, is a lite version of the full installation of WeBWorK. It has fewer dependencies and is easier to setup. The server is used by the Moodle Question Type. The idea behind WWQS is that it allows people using Moodle and soon hopefully other LMS systems to be able to easily install plugins that depend on the WWQS here at Rochester. This means that someone can get WeBWorK within Moodle very easily.
