WWWAssign

WWWAssign is developed by Larry Martin of North Park University, Illinois. WWWAssign is a non-proprietary program, which allows teachers to create, deliver, and grade assignments for students using the World Wide Web. This CGI program, written in Perl programming language, takes a set of teacher-written questions, turns each question into an HTML form, and delivers the entire set as an assignment. Students listed on a class list receive the assignment, complete the work, and submit their responses on their web browsers. The CGI collects, stores, and grades all student responses; teachers may view the grades on each assignment at any time. The system is mainly for summative purpose.

WWWAssign supports a number of core question types including:

• Numerical question
• Multiple choice
• Multiple response
• Essay question
• Submit file question
• Free text entry
• Symbolic question
