+The ConcepTest library will be ported to LON-CAPA, which offers scalable cross-institutional content and rights management features. The ConceptTests are currently archived in data base tables.
+We need to develop scripts which transfer this content into the LON-CAPA XML document and metadata structure. Where appropriate, gateways will be established to have different 
 system components access the same original content. The LT3 will be enabled to search the LON-CAPA CT resource pool and to render a static or randomized version into the LT3 environment. This will enable the LT3 as
 well as the LON-CAPA community to access the most recent version of each ConcepTest, as well as to track any changes which have been made by the individual authors. The common content pool
 allows us to carry out the proposed study with a minimum of logistical or technological challenges caused by the involvement of three different institutions.

 The project involves three academic institutions of very different character. In order to compare and contrast results gathered across these institutions, 
 it is important to assess attitutides and prior subject knowledge of the different student populations in order to compare and contrast research findings.
