WeBWorK Helper: A Chrome Extension for Easy WeBWorK Use

WeBWorK Helper is a user-friendly Chrome extension designed to make WeBWorK use more seamless. The tool generates previews of user answers, highlights parentheses inside input boxes, expands input boxes according to answers, allows adding notes to problems for future reference, and gives an overview of assignment progress. This extension works best with installations that use the default '\webwork2' path and is created by a third party, not endorsed by WeBWorK.
