Resource is the term used to describe the material that is given to your students through the LON-CAPA system. The following are the different types of LON-CAPA resources:

• Content pages: This is the term used for pages that are purely for informational purposes. Almost always they will end with the extension .html or .htm.
• Problems: These are questions given to the student in which all submitted answers are stored. They will end with the extension .page.
• Maps: Maps are ways of stringing your resources together. There are two kinds of maps:
  • Sequences: This is a type of map that in which you need to use the arrow keys or NAV button to traverse through the different resources. Sequences always end with the extension .sequence.
  • Pages: This is a type of map in which all of the resources appear in the browser window together. For example, a page of problems will appear to look like a homework set in the browser window. Pages always end with the extension .page.
  • A sequence can include other sequences and pages. For example, there is a sequence called lg_biomols.sequence which includes some content pages and the sequences carbo.sequence, protein.sequence, etc.
• All other resources, such as images and animations, should be in a .html or .htm file before they are put in a sequence. LON-CAPA can handle image files such as .gif and .jpg though.
