Résumé
You can access WIMS with any browser complying with the HTML normalizations. WIMS can structure the access to exercises in various complementary and useful ways.
Every teacher can create a virtual class, have her students subscribed in it, assign them works and fetch informations about their progresses. In a virtual class it is possible to define exercise sheets, courses bound with exercises, and exams.
Each virtual class owns a forum were messages are easily exchanged. Wims forums are up to now the only ones allowing easily exchanging maths formulas correctly typeset.
It is always possible to create hyperlinks between pages served by WIMS and other distant learning systems, or other group workplaces. You can now assign a WIMS exercise sheet to a student virtually sent by another system, transparently.
