Differences between logging into WeBWorK directly and via Moodle
You need to set up a WeBWorK account differently depending on how you (or your users) want to log in. If you want to log into WeBWorK directly, the login name needs to be set to the Swarthmore username. If you want to log into WeBWorK via Moodle, the login name must be set to the email.
| Note |
|---|
For security reasons, Professors and TA's must create their accounts in WeBWorK directly and cannot create their accounts via a Moodle link. Once your account has been created in WeBWorK, you can log in via Moodle. If you are enrolling students via Moodle, they will be able to enter the WebWorK course from a link within Moodle, but not directly through the WeBWorK front page. |
If you (as the professor) want to log into WeBWorK via Moodle, you need to first manually create a WeBWorK account using your Swarthmore email as the login name and permission of level of professor. Once this account is created, you will be able to log into WebWorK via Moodle. You may want to have two accounts for yourself: one with your username and with with your email so that you can log on both ways.
