So what Content Libraries are Available?
The most widely used material in ASSISTments is the Math Collection athat Neil and Cris Heffernan created and assembled. That content is available from an teachers assignment list and is called the 'WPI Cerfited Content' but in realitiy it is just one of many libraries being built. We have not yet figured out all the wonderful ways for teachers have create content to be able to share, so for the moment, the content that we think is worth sharing, gets added to the WPI Certified Content. So go check there to browse what we have, but you will first have to make an account, and then a class, to get to see what the WPI Certified Problem sets are. The list below will entice you to explore further.

ASSISTments supports groups sharing content and ideas
To support groups with a shared vision being able to brand and share content, we have created group "folders," where a group of individuals can create their own set of hierarchically organized collections of content. Currently, we allow each school and district to be their own groups. We have found great power in allowing schools to organize their school content, and then to share that with others.
Schools that have organized a lot of content around a given textbook get promoted by ASSISTments to show off to others the organizational work done by a group in.
