TITLE: The WebWork Homework System.

Abstract:

The WebWorK homework system, developed by the University of Rochester, has been adopted by more than 60 universities and colleges nation wide. It has many advanced features and great flexibility. The system is available to test for faculty members at Ferris. In this presentation, I will focus on how to use this system to create Online homework and quiz. You do not need write any problems. You will get hands-on experience in a computer Lab. No programming experience needed. All you need to do is basic computer knowledge.
