Tutorial
First Steps
- Hello world example
- The simplest possible example of a PG problem. Hello world documents the basic structure of a PG problem.
- Standard example
- A great many WeBWorK problems can be written using only the Standard example as a template.
- Matching list example
- This shows a simple example in which the student is required to match a list of answers with a list of questions.
- True false example
- How to enter random true-false and short answer questions
- Pop-up list example
- A variation on the true-false question example where the permitted answers appear on a pop-up list.
- Multiple Choice example
- A standard multiple choice question with radio buttons.
- Checkbox multiple choice example
- A Multipe choice question in which more than one correct answer can be specified for a given question using checkboxes.
- On-the-fly graphics example
- How to draw graphs of simple formulas. These graphs are drawn "on demand" as the student asks for them, and can be different for each student.
- Static graphics example
- Another method of working with graphics (gif files or png files) which you have already created. Typically there are 4 or 5 such graphs and each student is served one of these at random. While these graphs usually require more human labor to create, you have more control than with on-the-fly graphics, and they are often very effective.
- HTML links example
- Since each problem is just HTML, it is possible to link to resources anywhere on the net, in addition to resources stored with the problem template file
- JavaScript example
- Shows how to use java script effectively. This example demands that students find the derivative of the function using the defintion -- there is no other way! Experiments with how to use javaScript effectively are just starting.
- Java applet example
- This exhibits a math applet created by David Eck. As with javaScript, experiments on how to use java applets effectively as part of a homework problem are just beginning.
