WeBWorK Question Server

The WeBWorK Question Server is a lite version of the full installation of WeBWorK. It has much fewer dependencies and is significantly easier to setup. The server is used by the WeBWorK Moodle Question Type.

Features

• Lightweight Stateless SOAP Server.
• Renders WeBWorK PG code into HTML.
• Creates images of math equations.
• Checks student answers.
• Easier installation than WeBWorK Base System.
• Uses the same PG libraries as WeBWorK.

Running Servers

If you do not wish to install a WeBWorK Question Server on your own machine you can use a communal server by using one of the WSDL paths listed below. Yet if you have a high volume site it is recommended that you install a server locally.
