WebWork Live CD available
Robert Molzon from the University of Kentucky has created and made available for download a WebWork Live CD.

The live cd is based on Knoppix 4.0. This CD will allow you to turn any x86 computer into a webwork server in a matter of minutes. It can be used as a demo, as a backup, or even as your main server. Since Apache runs in memory after starting, you should see very little if any slowdown in performance. For more information go to http://www.webwork2.ms.uky.edu/

The Live_CD page contains information on setup and download.

I have used this Live CD to turn a laptop into a full WeBWorK server for use in demonstrations. It is truely impressive that this can be done in a few minutes without installing any additional software.

WeBWorK use in Computer Science
The NSF supported project

Adapting and Extending WeBWorK for Use in the Computer Science Curriculum

is a collaborative research project centered at Cornell College and Pace University New York Campus. See Cornell College grant and Pace University grant

The project team consists of Andy Wildenberg (Cornell) and Christelle Scharff, Olly Gotel and Richard Kline (Pace)

This project is adapting and extending materials from NSF-funded projects on the WeBWorK web-based assessment system, initially developed at the University of Rochester, to supplement and enhance the core computer science courses that cover the topics that are collectively known as Programming Fundamentals (i.e. fundamental programming constructs, algorithms and problem-solving, elementary data structures, recursion and event-driven programming).

The project team is in the process of creating a web page. The URL is: http://www.csis.pace.edu/~scharff/webwork/webwork.html
