This is a tutorial on the acquisition and use of a WQS teacher account. Please be mindful of the fact that wqs is a very dynamic system in which the basic functionality is stable but the interface changes frequently since new features are continually being added. Thus do not be surprised if there are details and diagrams in what follows that do not correspond exactly to what you see when you go the system. Hopefully the translation will be obvious.
Every effort is made to update the documentation as soon as changes occur.
There are numerous wqs account types corresponding to different types of system privileges. You can create your basic account whether you currently have a PIN or not. If you acquire a PIN at a later time you can easily use it to promote your account. PIN numbers have already been generated for Kentucky teachers of mathematics who are recognized by the Kentucky Department of Education, effective Fall 2000. We begin with the assumption that you are a new user who does not already have a basic wqs account but who does have a PIN number.
