This project proposes to make significant improvements to WeBWorK's NPL, and build a community of faculty around the country to maintain and curate the future role of the NPL (National Public Library), which is a collection of over 25,000 homework problems that are distributed with WeBWorK. WeBWorK, a web-based homework system used by over 300 schools, is an open-source system, developed and maintained by mathematicians. It is supported by the Mathematics Association of America (MAA). Additional outcomes of the project are improving the organization of NPL problems and developing software tools to facilitate easy access to the NPL. Upon completion, mathematics instructors will be able to search the library more easily for problems of the type they want. Both the NPL and the accompanying software promote the improvement of teaching and enhance the infrastructure for education in mathematics. Moreover, the project fosters mathematics faculty development by making a new tool accessible for effective mathematics teaching.

该项目建议对Webwork的NPL进行重大改进，并在全国各地建立一个教师社区，以维护和策划NPL（国家公共图书馆）的未来作用，该公司是通过Webwork分发的25,000多个家庭作业问题的集合。 Webwork是一个基于Web的家庭作业系统，该系统由300多个学校使用，是一个由数学家开发和维护的开源系统。它得到了美国数学协会（MAA）的支持。 该项目的其他结果正在改善NPL问题的组织和开发软件工具，以促进轻松访问NPL。 完成后，数学讲师将能够更轻松地搜索所需类型的问题。 NPL和随附的软件都促进了教学的改进，并增强了数学教育基础设施。 此外，该项目通过使可用于有效数学教学的新工具来促进数学教师的发展。
