Course Management System

LON-CAPA is a full-featured course management system, including

• Gradebook
• Ability to post presentations and documents
• Collect assignments

• Discussion and chat functionality
• Collaborative portfolio space
• Group and section management
• ...

The screen below is the instructor dashboard, which demonstrates several of these features. It shows items that there are some essays awaiting handgrading, that new discussion posts have been made regarding certain problems and pages, alerts the instructor that some problems appear to be really hard for the learners, shows new messages in the internal messaging system, and shows learning content which changed within the last week (part of content management and versioning). Also on this screen, the instructor would be alerted regarding changes in enrollment and course staff.
