** Using WeBWorK **

A number of people have expressed interest in having a meeting of WeBWorK users and "developers". At this point Mike, Arnie, and all the PI's who have received NSF CCLI A&I grants for WeBWorK are planning on attending. In addition at this very early stage, we have heard from a number of other people who have been using WeBWorK who plan to attend.

Connect to Discussion group item Meeting in Madison for WeBWorK developers and users for up to date information. In particular, here you will find a list of participants.

This meeting should be of interest to anyone who has or is applying for an NSF CCLI A&I grant to adapt and implement WeBWorK, to people who are interested in writing problems for WeBWorK, and to people who may have ideas on how to improve the operation of the WeBWorK system itself. The meeting also may be of interest to people who are just interested in using WeBWorK but do not, at least at this time, plan to write any problems of their own.

It's too early to put together an agenda for the meeting, but topics certainly would include:

1. Setting up some type of national library of WeBWorK problems. At this point quite a few people are writing WeBWorK problems (and some people are starting to write solutions for problems) and we should talk about coodinating these efforts.

2. The general direction Mike and Arnie see WeBWorK heading in the near future.

If you would be interested in attending this meeting, please post a response to the announcement in the Discussion group Meeting in Madison for WeBWorK developers and users or send an email to Arnie Pizer (apizer@math.rochester.edu) and/or Mike Gage (gage@math.rochester.edu)
