Edfinity is a full-featured, collaborative homework system that works seamlessly with WeBWorK, allowing you to use any WeBWorK problem.
If you have an existing WeBWorK course, you can easily export the problem sets (as definition files) and import them into Edfinity, as follows:
- Go to the WeBWorK course with the content you want to copy from.
- Click on Homework Sets Editor.
- Select Export and pick the sets you want to export (or select all) and click Take Action!. The export function creates "set definition files" for each assignment. These .def files have a filename generated from the name of the homework set and contain the assignment name, dates, and problems. The files are saved in the templates directory of the course. If you have extra problems that are not in the Open Public Library (OPL), you will need to export those directories as well.
- Go to the File Manager.
- Select all of the .def files you want to copy (make sure you are in the templates folder).
- Select Make archive and a .tgz file will be created. This is an archive (like a zip file) containing all of the .def files.
- Download the .tgz file to your computer by selecting the .tgz file and clicking the Download button.
- Email support@edfinity.com, asking us to do the import. Please attach the file and let us know your desired timeframe for completing the import.
