New Version 2.9.0 Released<br>
<br>
Changes from 2.8.1:<br>
<br>
Authoring Resources<br>
<br>
- CSS, javascript and plain text files (.css, .js, and .txt extensions) can be edited.<br>
- Assistant Co-authors can browse directories in the repository of published resources<br>
belonging to author(s) to whom they are assigned as assistant co-author.<br>
- The "Edit Math" button (which launches a pop-up Math expression editor) is available<br>
when editing HTML files.<br>
- Adaptive hints are available for reactionresponse and organicresponse types.<br>
- The R statistics package can be used in place of Maxima as a Computer Algebra<br>
system (CAS) in mathresponse and formularesponse problems. R can also be used to<br>
generate data sets in problems by using calls to appropriate cas routines within a<br>
script block. Example templates are provided.<br>
- Custom Response problems can award partial credit for problems containing multiple<br>
answers.<br>
- In dynamic plots (GNUplot) - x and y axis zero lines can be displayed as regular lines,<br>
thick lines, or as dotted lines.<br>
- Checkbox attribute for simple two-option optionresponse type allows checkboxes to be<br>
used instead of two item select box (e.g., for True/False). See: SimpleTrueFalse<br>
problem template.<br>
<br>
Student Interface<br>
<br>
- Information about resources for which access is controlled by reservation (i.e., slots)<br>
is displayed on the "Table of Contents" page (renamed from "Navigate Contents").<br>
- Students within a course can access a "Manage Reservations" utility from the Main Menu.<br>
This may be used to view and change reservations, and also display a log of reservation<br>
transactions.<br>
- When a user initiates the reset password process for an internally authenticated<br>
account, the e-mail address entered in the web form can now be any of: permanent email,<br>
critical notification email or regular notification email.<br>
- Courses with access start dates which were in the future when the student logged in,<br>
will become selectable from the courses screen, once the start date has been reached,<br>
without the need for logout/login.<br>
- Course Configuration for "Grading" includes a mode to not show total parts when a<br>
student displays his/her grading information.<br>
<br>
Communication<br>
<br>
- When rendering discussion posts and other feedback for the web, new lines will no<br>
longer be automatically converted to <br /> tags if HTML block elements are detected<br>
(suggesting the author had used HTML originally during composition).<br>
<br>
Course/Community Management<br>
<br>
- A "Course/Community requests" icon is included in the "My Roles" or "My Courses"<br>
category if the user has rights to create courses or communities in their home domain,<br>
and/or in another domain.<br>
- Course Configuration (previously "Set Course Environment") has been moved to the top<br>
level ("Main Menu") and divided into separate sections, with permitted user input<br>
constrained by radio buttons, select boxes, checkboxes, etc., in place of unrestricted<br>
entry via textboxes.<br>
- The Course Owner can assign the Course Coordinator role in a course to other users.<br>
- The Course Owner can declare other Course Coordinators as "Co-owners", who can choose<br>
to accept or deny co-ownership assignment. (Your institution may use co-ownership to<br>
permit access to institutional course rosters by the automated enrollment process).<br>
Co-owners are listed in the Course/Community Catalog, and can be used as a filter when<br>
searching for courses.<br>
- Alternative titles may be specified for standard role titles (e.g., Teaching Assistant<br>
etc.) in a course.<br>
- HTML documents uploaded directly to a course can be edited by a Course Coordinator.<br>
- The template displayed when creating custom roles depends on course type (Course or<br>
Community).<br>
- Coordinators can require all self-enrollment requests to be approved, and can specify<br>
which Coordinators should be notified when a self-enrollment request needs approval.<br>
- Coordinators can set an enrollment limit, which when reached will prevent new<br>
self-enrollments.<br>
- A link to the course request page is displayed after log-in if a user has no active<br>
roles, and has rights to request creation of courses/communities.<br>
- Slot reservation transactions are logged, and Coordinators/Instructors can view the<br>
history of reservation changes for a particular slot from the "History" link in the<br>
slots table.<br>
- "External" documents which may be included in a course (and display a web page from<br>
an external site in a frameset within LON-CAPA) are now more robust (e.g., trailing<br>
"&" trimmed from query string etc.).<br>
- Coordinators/Instructors are warned if there is a version discrepancy if the same<br>
resource is used more than once in a course, and the versions are different.<br>
- When a Coordinator uploads a file to a course, a check to determine if it is an HTML<br>
file will occur if the option to look for embedded objects was checked.<br>
<br>
Grading<br>
<br>
- Problems including randomlists are now supported for Bubblesheet grading<br>
(and verification).<br>
- When grading Bridge Tasks an additional check is made for consistency of username,<br>
domain and resource identifier between the grading key and the data to be submitted.<br>
- The Bubblesheet Data Uploader's upload screen now includes a link to the syllabus<br>
for the course selected to receive the data file. A comparison is made between the<br>
student populations in the course roster and in the bubblesheet data (based on<br>
student/employee ID), to try to detect uploads to the wrong course.<br>
- For Bubblesheet Data Uploaders picking a destination course, the institutional code<br>
textbox is replaced with linked select boxes (e.g., year, semester, department, number),<br>
as used in Course Catalog (if configured in the domain). The course owner/co-owner" row<br>
is replaced with "Course personnel includes: " row which can be used to search for<br>
courses where a specified username:domain has active non-student role.<br>
<br>
Domain Coordination/Domain Settings<br>
<br>
- Firewall configuration for traffic between LON-CAPA servers now restricts<br>
port access to IPs for servers currently in the LON-CAPA cluster. The nightly cron<br>
process which checks LON-CAPA connections will update the firewall for any<br>
changes in membership of the cluster.<br>
- Display of the log-in page for specific servers in a domain can be replaced by<br>
automatic redirection to a different server (e.g., to a LON-CAPA load balancer server,<br>
used solely for authentication and session switching).<br>
- Domain Coordinators can modify institutional status for users in their domain.<br>
- A new configuration is available to set which users may request creation of:<br>
(a) official courses, (b) unofficial courses, or (c) communities.<br>
- Communities are similar to courses except the Coordinator may only browse areas<br>
of the shared LON-CAPA repository for which he/she has an author or co-author role.<br>
- Course/Community requests may be set to be processed automatically, queued for approval<br>
by a Domain Coordinator, or (for official courses) validated against the institutional<br>
instructor of record.<br>
- Domain Coordinators can permit course requests to be made by users from other domains,<br>
on a user-by-user basis.<br>
- A Domain Coordinator can set which affiliations within the institution (e.g., Faculty,<br>
Staff etc.) may create his/her own account (applies to institutional login/SSO only).<br>
- The course creation menu includes additional links: (a) display course requests queued<br>
pending approval by a Domain Coordinator; (b) display requests for official courses<br>
queued pending institutional validation; (c) display a log of course creation history.<br>
- The "Edit this resource" link is displayed to a Domain Coordinator in course context,<br>
if the domain of the resource author is the domain of the current role.<br>
- The aggregate database of courses in a domain used when searching for a course (e.g.,<br>
when selecting an ad hoc role, choosing a course to clone etc.) is rebuilt nightly<br>
by cron from permanent data stored in each course's environment.db file.<br>
- Domain Coordinators may filter by time elapsed since course creation when using the<br>
course picker (e.g., to select an ad hoc role, assign a Course Coordinator role etc.).<br>
- A domain may be configured to automatically assign co-ownership status when a Course<br>
Coordinator role becomes active in an official course, if the Coordinator is official<br>
course personnel (requires customization of <a href="http://localenroll.pm" target="_blank">localenroll.pm</a>).<br>
- Domain Coordinators may delete entries in personal information fields (i.e., name,<br>
permanent e-mail address) if a value has been set previously.<br>
- Domain Coordinators may allow users to choose (via a User Preference) to prevent<br>
updates to information fields by a nightly automated update which synchronizes LON-CAPA<br>
with institutional directory data.<br>
- Nightly removal of stale files in /home/httpd/perl/tmp will descend into sub-directories<br>
and also remove stale files from them.<br>
<br>
Printing<br>
<br>
- Printouts of PDF files within a folder (both in a course and in Construction Space)<br>
can be generated.<br>
- The default font size in printouts can be set by Course Coordinators and<br>
Authors/Co-authors.<br>
- Composite pages (.page) can be printed in Construction Space and also printed with<br>
answers.<br>
- Composite pages (.page) containing numerical problems can be printed when set to exam<br>
mode.<br>
- Composite pages (.page) can be printed for selected students.<br>
- The syllabus can be printed when generating printouts of resources for selected<br>
students.<br>
- Printing of tables has been standardized to use the perl LaTeX::Table module.<br>
<br>
Localization<br>
<br>
- New translations and improvements are provided for both the German and Spanish<br>
interfaces.<br>
- UTF-8 encoding is used for all browsers (including Internet Explorer).<br>
- The time zone of the local server is cached, and translations of phrases are also<br>
cached to improve performance.<br>
<br>
Accessibility<br>
- An alt attribute (which includes the raw TeX) is supplied for use by screen readers<br>
when MimeTex images are used to render math expressions.<br>
- Raw mode (will output raw TeX) is available as an additional option for rendering<br>
math expressions.<br>
<br>
Appearance<br>
- More interface standardization using the following display elements:<br>
- Data tables with rows of alternating light/dark background colors, and a<br>
colored header.<br>
- Two column data tables with a colored left column, and light gray right column.<br>
- Boxes with a thin border used to group similar items together.<br>
- More muted colors, and standard data table used for Roles/Courses screen.<br>
