Start by deciding if you want a single link to WeBWorK in Moodle or if you want a separate link for each assignment. A single link is simpler for the instructor to set up. Individual links may make it easier for students to know when assignments are due. When using individual links for each homework assignment, students must click on the link in Moodle to start their homework assignment. After they have clicked the link once, they can access the assignment by logging into WeBWorK directly.
The default configuration is a single, course-wide link. If you prefer individual links to each homework assignment, log into your WeBWorK course and click on Course configuration (left menu) → LTI tab → Grade passback mode → Homework
| Note |
|---|
The grade passback mode must be set before students enter your course. Changing the passback mode after students have logged in will likely cause problems. |
