WeBWorK: Improving Student Success in MathematicsDiscipline: Mathematical Sciences (21)This CCLI Phase 3 project, "WeBWorK: Improving Student Success in Mathematics," is updating, expanding, and enhancing one of the most used, freely-distributed, open source, online, mathematics homework systems. By providing students with immediate feedback about the validity of their answers and giving them the opportunity to correct mistakes while they are still thinking about the problem, WeBWorK is helping students stay on task and is increasing the effectiveness of student homework in the learning process. Using WeBWorK, students each receive individualized versions of problems, enabling instructors to encourage students to work together. Additionally, instructors can select different levels and types of questions for the students ranging from routine questions to more advanced interactive questions.The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) is partnering with the developers of WeBWorK to create a permanent supportive home for WeBWorK, thus providing the mathematical sciences community with dependable, long-term access to WeBWorK while at the same time strengthening the on-going maintenance and development. The MAA is providing a hosting service for WeBWorK courses so professors can gain experience with WeBWorK without first having to have it installed at their home institutions. Additionally, WeBWorK is being integrated into more course management systems. The project assessment team is investigating the impact of WeBWorK on student learning and evaluating the efficacy of the project's dissemination efforts. Furthermore, the MAA is expanding research into effective practices for the use of WeBWorK. Training workshops are providing faculty with the tools they need to make effective use of WeBWorK. Presentations and publications are exposing faculty to results from using WeBWorK for improving student learning in college mathematics.

WebWork：提高学生在数学学科的成功：数学科学（21）这个CCLI第3阶段项目，“WebWorkK：提高学生在数学上的成功，”正在更新，扩展和增强最常用的，免费分发的，开源的，在线的数学作业系统之一。 通过为学生提供有关其答案有效性的即时反馈，并让他们有机会在思考问题时纠正错误，WebWorkK帮助学生完成任务，并提高学生作业在学习过程中的有效性。 使用WebWorkK，每个学生都会收到个性化的问题版本，使教师能够鼓励学生一起工作。 此外，教师可以为学生选择不同级别和类型的问题，从常规问题到更高级的互动问题。美国数学协会（MAA）与WebWorkK的开发人员合作，为WebWorkK创建一个永久的支持家园，从而为数学科学界提供可靠的，长期访问WebWork，同时加强持续的维护和开发。 MAA正在为WebWorkK课程提供托管服务，以便教授可以获得WebWorkK的经验，而无需首先在其所在机构安装。此外，WebWork正在被集成到更多的课程管理系统中。 项目评估团队正在调查WebWork对学生学习的影响，并评估该项目传播工作的有效性。 此外，MAA正在将研究扩展到使用WebWork的有效做法。 培训研讨会为教师提供有效利用WebWork所需的工具。 演示文稿和出版物暴露教师使用WebWorkK的结果，以提高学生在大学数学学习。
