WebAssign, The Online Homework and Grading
WebAssign is the premiere product of Advanced Instructional Systems, a privately-held company incorporated in North Carolina. The CEO, John Risley, Ph.D., specializes in physics education as a professor in the Department of Physics at North Carolina State University. The company is located on the Centennial Campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC.
WebAssign was developed by teachers for teachers. Aaron Titus, a graduate student in physics education at North Carolina State University, and Larry Martin, a physics professor at North Park University in Chicago, independently developed web-based homework systems in the mid-1990s.
Today, WebAssign is the leading provider of powerful online instructional tools for faculty and students. Partnering with all major textbook publishers, WebAssign offers customizable precoded questions from a wide range of math and science textbooks along with easy-to-use tools that allow instructors create their own questions.
