Two Ways to Use WeBWorK

WeBWorK course can be used in two different ways. This defines how students access it, how homework is graded and whether classlists need to be imported. While it’s a simple course configuration setting done by the WeBWorK administrator, the course cannot switch types after homework assignments have already been made.

Standalone, traditional. Students and instructors log in directly. Authentication is by NetID, using standard Dartmouth login procedure. WeBWorK course needs a classlist imported, with Login Name column using lowercase NetIDs. It is recommended that classlists are downloaded from Banner, converted using our own Classlist Converter and then imported into WeBWorK.

“Integrated” with Canvas. In this case Canvas assignments are linked to homework sets in WeBWorK. Students log into Canvas and, by using assignments, are automatically taken to appropriate homework on WeBWorK. Students never log into WeBWorK directly, and there is no need to import classlists in WeBWorK — students' records are added automatically. WeBWorK grades are passed back to Canvas automatically as well. Instructors still log in directly to WeBWorK. Here is how to setup WeBWorK in Canvas.
