Those DVD files were on the old MAA server and were not transferred over, so unfortunately they are not easily available.

I think that the idea of having CS students install WeBWorK is a good project, but I would suggest  having them install it using Docker. The documents for using Docker are
on a github wiki: https://github.com/openwebwork/webwork2/wiki . A good place to start is
https://github.com/openwebwork/webwork2/wiki/Docker-newbie-instructions. These instructions haven't been updated recently and development has been rapid (see github commits) so it would be very useful if the CS students updated the documentation as they set up the site. The first purpose of the docker installation was to make a development installation on a laptop relatively easy. However now there are at least two institutions (UBC and Technion) which are using a Docker webwork installation for production work.
