LON-CAPA An Open-Source Learning Content Management and Assessment System Gerd Kortemeyer and Émerson Cruz Michigan State University

Overview Presentation Outline: System Overview and Architecture Research Community

System Overview and Architecture

LON-CAPA Overview LON-CAPA is  free  open-source  a learning content management system  an assessment system  around since 1992

Free and Open-Source Free:  “Free beer”: no licensing fees  “Free speech”: source code, Bugzilla, mailing lists, research results, all out in the open Open-source: you can read, modify, improve, adapt, etc, the original code of the system BUT: derivative must be distributed under same license, i.e., GNU General Public License while ($line= ) { chomp($line); $line=~s/\s+$//s; $line=~s/\"//g; $username=$entries[4]; _ while ($line= ) { chomp($line); $line=~s/\s+$//s; $line=~s/\"//g; $username=$entries[4]; _

Shared Resource Library The distributed network looks like one big file system ( Um conjunto de Instituições interligadas via web funcionando como um único corpo )

Shared Resource Library Resources may be web pages …

Resource Assembly Nested Assemblies No pre-defined levels of granularity („module“, „chapter“, etc) People can never agree what those terms mean Re-use possible on any level ( Construindo o saber: um por todos e todos por um )

Resource Assembly Writes module about energy conservation Writes module about momentum conservation Compiles module about conservation laws Uses whole assembly in his course

Instructors can directly use the assembled material in their courses  navigational tools for students to access the material  grade book  communications  calendar/scheduling  access rights management  portfolio space

Research LON-CAPA como ferramenta e campo de pesquisa

Research Over the years, we did research on …  resource sharing  effectiveness of online homework  online student discussions  gender differences

Resource Sharing Online communities of practice Contributors versus users (institutions)

Online Discussions Discussions Encouraged, since all students have different versions. Peer-Teaching. (Discussões online como estratégia de ensino) Discussions Encouraged, since all students have different versions. Peer-Teaching. (Discussões online como estratégia de ensino)

Classification Classification of discussion contributions

Influence of Problem Difficulty More difficult than 0.6: “more pain, no gain”

Do better students discuss better?

Learning Success Same course, first semester with, second semester without online homework

Learning Success Mostly helps students who are on the brink of failing the course. Fail

Gender Difference phy231: without LON-CAPA phy232: with LON-CAPA Gender difference But why?

Gender Difference

Community O Universo LON-CAPA

The LON-CAPA Community Shared content repository with almost 350,000 resources Almost 150,000 online homework problems

The LON-CAPA Community 130 member institutions

The LON-CAPA Community USA: 106 Canada: 6 Germany: 3 Turkey: 1 Israel: 2 South Korea: 1 South Africa: 1 Brazil: 1 High Schools, Colleges, and Universities … plus grant projects and publishing companies. Switzerland: 1

The Consortium Out of the 130 member institutions, five form the LON-CAPA Academic Consortium  Three institutions that made long-term financial commitments: Simon Fraser University University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Michigan State University  Two institutions continually contributing to the code base and development: Ohio University University of Applied Science, Wolfenbüttel Governing board and long-term sustainability

Running LON-CAPA  Locally Dedicated Linux server or virtual machine  Hosted

LON-CAPA in Brazil LON-CAPA has been used with publisher content for physics courses at the Universidade de São Paulo During fall semester: research study at USP, comparing results obtained in the USA with results in Brazil.
