WeBWorK is a free, online homework system that has been shown to be effective in helping students learn mathematics. At present, it is somewhat technical to use. The goal of this project is to make it much easier for teachers to use WeBWorK so that it can have a positive impact on student learning at a variety of types of institutions.Intellectual Merit: The principal outcome of this project is the organization of a national library of homework problems coded into WeBWorK, and the development of software tools to facilitate easy access to this electronic library. Instructors teaching a variety of mathematics courses can search the library for problems of the type they want, and use a point-and-click interface to select specific problems for assignments. The project is testing and refining the software tools by partnering with community colleges.Broader Impact: The national WeBWorK problem library and the accompanying software are helping to promote teaching and enhance the infrastructure for education in mathematics. These are being freely available over the web. Moreover, the project is fostering faculty development of mathematics teachers around the country by making a new tool accessible to them for effectively teaching mathematics. The results of the project are being disseminated through workshops for teachers and presentations at conferences. It targets several conferences with different audiences comprised of mathematics teachers from different types of schools.

WebWorkK是一个免费的在线作业系统，已被证明是有效的帮助学生学习数学。目前，它在使用上有些技术性。该项目的目标是使教师更容易使用WebWorkK，从而对各类机构的学生学习产生积极的影响。智力成果：该项目的主要成果是组织了一个全国性的作业问题库，并开发了软件工具，以方便访问该电子库。教授各种数学课程的教师可以在图书馆中搜索他们想要的类型的问题，并使用点击界面来选择指定的问题。更广泛的影响：国家WebWork问题库和配套软件有助于促进教学和加强数学教育的基础设施。这些资料可在网上免费查阅。此外，该项目还通过向全国数学教师提供一种有效教授数学的新工具，促进他们的能力发展。该项目的成果正通过教师讲习班和在会议上的介绍加以传播。它的目标是几个会议与不同的观众组成的数学教师从不同类型的学校。
