LON-CAPA
Notice:
Purdue University will be decommissioning LON-CAPA December 2023 because of the challenges to sustainable support and high risk of loss of data for faculty and students due to failure of the system. Starting August 1, 2023, LON-CAPA will go into dormancy and no new content may be added or courses created. If you have content that you would like to extract from LON-CAPA please do so prior to December 2023.
Please email innovativelearningteam@purdue.edu to learn more about options, assistance, and resources.
LON-CAPA has many of the features common to learning management systems (LMS). LON-CAPA’s strength is in its ability to create resources which generate large amounts of randomized problems. These problem types include numerical and text variations. Each student receives a personalized version of a problem with as many attempts at the instructor desires, with immediate feedback and even adaptive feedback capabilities. Graphing tools and simulations are also supported, providing deeper learning beyond numerical and text-based problems.
