What is WeBWorK?

WeBWorK is an open source Perl-based system for delivering individualized homework problems over the web. {{#ev:youtube|2kXdIDDL5gM|250}} By providing students with immediate feedback as to the correctness of their answers, students are encouraged to make multiple attempts until they succeed.
