In classrooms, CGI can create custom web pages for each student, and collect student responses. Via the web, students can give feedback to instructors, feedback in the form of questions, comments, discussions, homework, in-class assignments, quizzes, tests, evaluations, and polls. In fact, CGI allows the web to replace the classroom, creating a virtual university - a school simulated in software, without physical buildings. Students and teachers can collaborate without physically meeting. Instructors can use WWWAssign in many ways.
Instructors can assign projects as assignments to be done in class.
Instructors can give quizzes and tests by forbidding student interaction and the use of texts. Instructors can give assignments to be done as homework. WWWAssign benefits teachers by automating the tedious aspects of giving assignments. The program hands out assignments and collects the responses, then automatically grades the responses and stores the scores. These statistics are also perfect for summarizing student polls and course evaluations.
