LON-CAPA is a web-based interface that helps to organize and present your
 course website, deliver and manage problem problems, and manage student
 enrollment.
 All author functions are done using a web browser (Netscape 4.x or higher
 is recommended) and the LON-CAPA Author Interface.
 The URL for LON-CAPA is 
\family typewriter 
http://s10.lite.msu.edu
\family default 
.
\layout Standard

At this time, you should have:

developed your problems for testing and identified the question formats.
 The Template for Mapping Website to LON-CAPA that you filled in will assist
 you in the process of creating your course website structure in LON-CAPA.

 in LON-CAPA.

Comment on the remote controls: I'll only mention this once, but imagine

 The whole 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

 metaphor is fundamentally flawed and probably can't be salvaged.
 Why is it flawed?
\layout Comment

\layout Comment

1.
 The remote control invokes a metaphor, that of remote controls.
 However, remote controls are useful in the real world, despite the overwhelming
 complexity of modern remotes, for three major reasons: One, they never,
 ever, ever change.
 Two, they provide immense amounts of tactile feedback, allowing one to
 overcome the complexity of using one by putting the knowlege into motor
 memory.
 (There are equivalent usability principles in usability, as well; look
 up Fitt's Law, for instance.) Three, they all basically do the same thing;
 pick up an unfamiliar TV control and you at least know in advance there
 will be numbers for channel changing, vol up and down, chan up and down,
 mute, etc.
 The remotes used in this system do not have any of these properties.
 Remotes are actually horrid UI, because they are very, very difficult to
 learn; they make up for it by being useful and persistent.
\layout Comment

Further, remotes should *do* things.
 This remote is like a remote that no matter what button you push, it invokes
 a menu.
 Most remotes have 
\series bold 
one
\series default 
 explicit 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

menu
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

 button to invoke a menu that has all the feature that aren't worth valuable
 remote control space.
\layout Comment

In fact, the metaphor is so unsuccessful that any moderately savvy internet
 user will almost immediately come to conceptualize the remote as just another
 list of links, albiet a clumsy and inconvenient one.
 Why not give them that in the first place?

 Even the simplest

 I see in the tutorial has eight buttons, which nearly immediately becomes
 seventeen (!) buttons, all incomprehensible, and I didn't get a chance
 to count during the interview, but I saw a remote flash by (student remote?
 admin remote? that wouldn't matter as much) that had at least twenty, probably
 24 buttons, again, all or nearly all incomprehensible.
 This is needlessly intimidating.

 By commiting to this 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

remote control
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

 layout, you commit to a remote control's layout limitations, except that
 an actual remote control can get away with a 6pt or smaller font, or wierd
 specialized symbols, or whatnot.
 I'm looking at a (real) remote control right now that manages to get 
\begin_inset Quotes eld

 onto one button.
 That whole phrase fits *twice* into the space the 
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset 

ROLES
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset 

 button takes up on my printout! So in actuality, you're commiting to something
 no sane remote control designer could deal with.
 Moreover, I observe that on a real remote, the vast majority of buttons
 are labelled with one conceptual entity (i.e.,

 Requiring the user to mouse over something to see what it does is not a
 solution.
 Limiting yourself to an 8 by 2 array of characters to explain yourself
 compounds the problem even more.
 (Another over-literal extension of the remote control metaphor.) Also, as
 you may have observed, the accessibility of this is nil.

The upshot is that the only upside to the remote control is a moderately
 pleasing graphic; the downsides are pretty much everything, up to and including
 possible illegality under accessability laws.
 Unfortunately, I do not see any way to salvage any aspect of the remote
 control; it's going to suck until it's replaced.
 Pleasing graphics are relatively easy to come by nowadays; it should not
 drive the design.
 I'll admit (freely!) I'm not a graphics designer...
 graphics designers aren't web developers (designers), either.

Also, based on my relatively little info, I think you're data-mining the
 web logs to see what people actually use.
 This is good.
 We may need to do some really simple stuff before he finishes.
 Raw statistics on what buttons are pressed most often can probably be interpret
ed easily enough for our purposes.
 No matter what the final design is, it should emphasize the two or three
 commands used day in and day out, as determined by empirical analysis,
 and shuffle the other commands onto another sub menu or sub menus.
 Then, use the additional space you'll have (even if you keep the same size
 window) and actually *spell out* the options.

Creating Content Using LON-CAPA

LON-CAPA provides three types of resources for organizing your course website.
 LON-CAPA refers to these resources as Content Pages, Problems, and Maps.
 Maps may be either of two types: Sequences or Pages.
 You will use these LON-CAPA resources to build the outline, or structure,
 for the presentation of your course to your students.

Creating Online Problems Using LON-CAPA
\layout Subsubsection

Problems Types
\layout Standard

There are five types of problems that can be created with the LON-CAPA system:
 Radio Response, Option Response, String Response, Numerical Response, and
 Formula Response.
 You will need to identify which types of problem you want to use and create
 appropriate questions for your course.
\layout Subsubsection

Radio Response
\begin_inset LatexCommand \index{Radio Response}

\end_inset 

 Problems
\layout Standard

Radio Response problems represent multiple choice questions.
\layout Standard

True/False problems present the student with one question that can be answered
 true or false.
\layout Standard

Multiple choice problems are created almost identically to True/False problems.
 Multiple choice problems contain 3-10 foils.
 You may display 3-5 foils for each problem and the system randomly picks
 the choices that are presented to the student.
\layout Standard

Option Response Problems
\layout Standard

Option Response problems present foils to the student with drop-down boxes.
 Option response questions may be presented as a collection of True/False
 type questions or as a matching type question.
 The student must choose the correct answer for each part of the question.
\layout Standard

String Response Problems
\layout Standard

String Response problems are problems in which the student submits a string
 of characters for the answer.
 Examples of string response questions are vocabulary tests, short answer
 and entering chemical formulas.
\layout Standard

Numerical Response Problems
\layout Standard

Numerical Response problems are answered by entering a number and (optionally)
 a unit, such as 2.5 m/s^2.
 Tolerance and significant digits can be specified as well.
\layout Standard

Formula Response Problems
\layout Standard

Formula Response problems are questions in which the student types in a
 math formula for the answer.
 If the answer is "x^2 - 11", the student can enter "x^2 - 11", "x*x - 11",
 "x^2 + 21 - 10", etc.
 Functions such as cos, sin, and exp are accepted as well as the operators
 (), +, -, *, and /.
