Introducing Our Live Webinar Training

This summer, WebAssign is launching a new live online training series. Covering diverse topics, including WebAssign 101 for the Basics; WebAssign 101 for Course Coordinators; Using the Improved Assignment Editor; and even a series of sessions on question coding, our webinar series is available at convenient times and open to all adopters. Check out our schedule to see what sessions work for you. We're looking forward to "seeing" you there!

Save Time with the Improved Assignment Editor

As announced back in May, we've launched a newly redesigned and vastly improved Assignment Editor, based on your feedback, suggestions, and requests. To recap some of the highlights:

Save Time with Assignment Templates
Previously, you could only define one default administration setting for your assignments and apply those settings to all assignments you create. With the improved assignment editor, you can use Assignment Templates to predefine as many different defaults as you will need (or select from a collection of WebAssign default settings). Define one Assignment Template for homework and another for quizzes, and reuse them time and again.

Easily Customize Question Settings
Easily control exactly how every question behaves with our new question expansion functionality. Override numerical tolerance rules, define when students can view learning tools and hints, and even apply bonus or penalty points—all without leaving the question list.

Conditionally Release Assignments Based on Student Benchmarks

By popular user request, we've made it possible for instructors to require students achieve specific benchmarks on assignments before accessing subsequent ones. With our new Conditional Release of Assignment beta functionality, you can require students score a specific percentage before they can move on, giving you more control over scheduling and greatly simplifying online courses, independent study plans, or remedial coursework.
