WeBWorK is a free, open-source online homework application. The on-going WeBWorKiR project at UBC has involved both the creation of a wide range of WeBWorK questions in the statistical sciences and enabling WeBWorK to communicate with the statistical computing software R. This hands-on workshop will guide potential users on how to set up online homeworks using WeBWorK, including how to import and customise existing questions, how to create new questions from a selection of templates, and how to call and integrate R output. No previous experience with WeBWorK is necessary. Attendees are requested to bring a laptop computer.
