History

Established in 1997.

Originally launched as a project of North Carolina State University, and fully incorporated in 2003, WebAssign®, was founded by John Risley Ph.D., a physics education specialist and professor in the Department of Physics at NCSU. It was Dr. Risley’s vision to provide faculty with the most robust tools and the widest selection of content to support their pedagogical goals, thereby fostering student success. Dr. Risley passed away in April 2013, but his passion for using technology to connect students and teachers lives on in everything we do.
