Abstract

Several web-based homework systems have been designed for mathematics. The best systems emphasize algorithmic problems with free response answers (numerical or mathematical expression), provide immediate feedback about correctness, and allow a student to fix errors while the study of the problem is fresh — continuing until all parts of a problem are correct.

I will describe a few systems (with emphasis on the two I have used most recently, Webwork & WileyPLUS), types of questions, and styles of use.
