Migrate your course to the WebWork instance at openta¶

Migrating a course from Webworks to OpenTA is in development. Until this procedure is thoroughly tested, it is best to clone your course into an ordinary WeBWork 2.17 installation https://webworks.opentaproject.org/webwork2 . Make sure exercises are complete and working. We can then migrate the course to the OpenTA framwork for you.

There are a number of sites discussing how to copy a course to a new server. See https://vcc.teamdynamix.com/TDClient/50/Portal/KB/ArticleDet?ID=2838 or https://kb.swarthmore.edu/display/MOODLE/Copying+a+WeBWorK+Course
