The faculty today gave a ringing endorsement to academic freedom and our historic commitment to free speech. Some N.C. State professors are using online homework software Students in some N.C. State University courses are doing their homework and even taking quizzes on the World-Wide Web, thanks to a program designed primarily by N.C. State professors. WebAssign was recently highlighted in The Chronicle of Higher Education , which reported that over 45 high schools and universities nationwide were experimenting with the software. N.C. State is now marketing the software, and the Chronicle reports that several textbook publishers are allowing their textbook questions to be included in WebAssign's data base as long as students using it are asked to purchase the books. A demonstration of WebAssign is on the World-Wide Web .
Submissions are welcome.
