I absolutely love that Webwork can import homeworks from files.

That is a much appreciated feature that saves soo much time.


Possible to do multiple homeworks at a time from a single file?

You can put several .def files in a .zip archive and upload it; that way, you can upload several problem sets at once.

Just to be clear.....there are 2 types of "imports"...

1. importing files to the server so they appear in the file manager

2. importing (CREATING) new homeworks/exams with due dates from def files in the file manager

Does your zip file idea pertain to #1 or #2?

Both would be nice.  #2 is the one I was thinking of.

Use zip files to import multiple .def files into the file system.

Once the files are in the system, go to the Homework Sets Editor and choose to import multiple problem sets at once. See the attached image.
