WebAssign is constantly adding new features to make WebAssign the best online homework system.
The following new features are available to all teachers and are being added to textbook questions as needed.
Contact WebAssign if you have any questions about these new tools.
Assignment Reminders
remind students when an assignmnet due date is approaching. Students can choose to get reminders 6, 12, 24, 30, or 48 hours before a due date, and can even set up multiple email reminders for each assignment. WebAssign can also email students if a due date changes.
Forwarding WebAssign Communications to Email
lets faculty and students know as soon as they recieve an extension request or response, private message, or Ask Your Teacher message. Students can also choose to recieve email notification when a new announcement is posted in one of their classes.
Tutorial Question Mode
gives instructors a way to write rich step-by-step questions, which walk students through a concept, displaying only one part of a question at a time. Questions can contain multiple tutorials, where each step can include plain text or one or more answer blanks. This feature works with all modes of WebAssign questions. The tutorial framework gives you the flexibility to write many different types of stepped questions.
Linking Students Accounts
makes it easier for students to keep track of several different WebAssign accounts. After logging in to one account, students can click My Options and set up links to their other accounts. After accounts are linked, students can log in to any one of their accounts and see all of their classes. The instructor view for students with linked accounts will not change in any way.
