Getting started with WebAssign
What is WebAssign?
WebAssign is an online homework platform for physics, maths and statistics. Your instructor will be able to create assignments and send them to you electronically. WebAssign will automatically mark your completed assignment and give you instant feedback on your performance.
Your WebAssign has been customised by your instructor to guide you through the course and help you focus on what’s important.
It includes highly visual content and interactive questions to help you develop a deeper understanding of your course materials.
WebAssign can be accessed direct from your institution’s learning management system (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, etc.) or as a standalone resource.
