LON-CAPA (The LearningOnline Network with CAPA) is a learning content and course management system. It offers an underlying shared content pool from which instructors across departmental and institutional boundaries can assemble granular learning content for their courses. It has strong assessment capabilities, both formative (homework and in-class using wireless PDAs) and summative (online and bubblesheet exams), with a one-source multiple-target strategy for the content. It offers students portfolio space in which they can stage materials for submission to projects, and provides a number of tools for synchronous and asynchronous student-student and student-faculty communication. LON-CAPA scales well with number of students, as load-balancing is possible across the whole network of servers at participating institutions. License: GNU General Public License (GPL) Changes: The load-balancing functionality has been modified to recognize existing sessions and route the user back to the machine on which the session is active. Cloning of courses has been improved such that permissions can be configured during initial course setup and include wildcards. Submission of answers in multipart problems is more intuitive. IMS import of WebCT 4.1 CE (TM) packages is enabled. A permanent email address can be set when creating a new user. The German localization has been updated. Checking for RPM updates on SuSE 10.2 has been fixed.
