"Teaching with WebWork"
Abstract: WebWork is a free, web-based system for generating and delivering homework problems to students. The goal is to make homework more effective and efficient. This semester, we are using WebWork in our sections of Calculus II. We will discuss our pedagogical reasons for trying WebWork, the research that supports the use of WebWork, and the technical aspects of its implementation. The talk will conclude with a hands-on experience in WebWork for the attendees.Please
join us for light refreshments outside WSC 109 at 4:15.
