Hi Itay, What I normally say, and plan to say at a LON-CAPA workshop this April at the IL-IN ASEE conference, is that I have never seen or heard of an LMS that can even approach the problem-generating capabilities of LON-CAPA. That is absolutely true, but leaves the door open for someone to enlighten me. (No one has yet.)
Before LON-CAPA I used Blackboard Vista. It was BB's transition to Learn, in which they dropped some of the most important aspects of what was a meager problem-generation capability, that led to my introduction to LON-CAPA. Purdue uses Brightspace (formerly D2L, I think) now, but I have not explored its problem-generating capacity. If you learn of a recent LMS comparison, please let me know. BR, Gene L. Harding, PE Associate Professor of ECET From: LON-CAPA-users <lon-capa-users-boun...@mail.lon-capa.org> On Behalf Of Itay via LON-CAPA-users Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2021 12:00 PM To: Discussion list for LON-CAPA users <lon-capa-users@mail.lon-capa.org> Subject: [LON-CAPA-users] Presenting Lon-Capa on IPS conference next week Hi Next week (Monday) I will do a short demonstration of Lon-Capa (LC) on the Israel Physical Society annual conference. I got 15 minutes in the Physics Education session. The backbone of the presentation would be showcasing 2-3 problems that demonstrate the strong problem-engine of Lon-Capa. I anticipate there might be questions from the audience asking to compare LC to other systems (I have some experience only with moodle). So I wonder if any of you could help me with these questions? 1. Do you know of any recent and published comparison of Lon-Capa (LC) with other LMS's? 2. In particular: LC vs. WebWork and/or Stack? 3. Can I reasonably claim that LC has (one of) the strongest problem-engine(s) in the market? 4. If you believe the answer for 3 is 'yes' : what would be the supporting evidence. Thank you in advance. You are welcome to reply in private if you prefer. Itay
