+%
+The Authoring Space is the environment of LON-CAPA where you create and manage your course resources. Creating content involves both \textit{authoring} the resource during editing, and then \textit{publishing} the resource to make it available for use in courses. The figure \ref{Authoring Space Figure} shows the top menu. The username includes a dropdown box where you can edit preferences. 
+
+The displayed menu includes:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item\textbf{Main Menu} provide links to additional personal settings.
+	\item\textbf{Authoring Space} returns you to the current authoring space.
+	\item\textbf{Browse} provides a link to published resources.
+	\item\textbf{People} provides a menu to add coauthors.
+\end{itemize}
+The gray bar under the menu provides a clickable bread crumb trail. The current \textbf{authoring space} folder location is displayed near the bottom of the figure \ref{Authoring Space Figure}, and is clickable. The \textbf{Recent} dropdown box lists recent folder locations for quick navigation.
+
+The upper right menu is not shown here, but includes the following links:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item\textbf{Message} links to your e-mail box.
+	\item\textbf{Roles} returns you to your roles page.
+	\item\textbf{Help} provides a link to online help for the authoring space. The online help is a modified version of this manual.
+	\item\textbf{Logout} is a link to close the session.
+\end{itemize}
+
+At the bottom of the page is a directory as shown in the figure \ref{Example Directory Figure}. On the left edge, icons help identify the content type. The \textbf{Actions} dropdown provides commands to move, copy, paste, publish the resource or other content-type-dependent options. The \textbf{Name} column provides a link to the resource or folder. The \textbf{Title} column provides a link to the meta data provided to help other users find your resource. The \textbf{Status} column shows whether the resource is \textbf{Published, Unpublished, or Obsolete.} The vertical bar (pink in the figure) color denotes the status: Green (published); Pink (unpublished); Gray (obsolete).
+
+ In the center of the page are three action menus: \textbf{Actions for current directory, Upload a new document, Create a new directory or LON-CAPA document}. The first two menus are intuitive when exploring them. The third menu is shown in the figure \ref{New Content Menu} and new content types are described later in this manual.

-File} button to create a content page in LON-CAPA. Remember to upload any
-graphics your generated web pages may have included.
-
-To create new Content Pages, do the following:
-
-\begin{enumerate}
-\item Click the \textbf{CSTR} button on the LON-CAPA remote. Your web page will
-change to your Authoring Space.
-\item In the Location bar of your browser, type in the full URL of the new Content
-Page. Make sure the last part of the URL ends with {}``.html'', for example,
-\\
-\emph{http://(your library server)/priv/domain/username/new\_resource.html} .\\
-Press the Return or Enter key.
-\item Type the content into the editor, \emph{OR} copy and paste HTML source code

-Custom Response is a way to have a problem graded based on an algorithm. The use of this response type is
-generally discouraged, since the responses will not be analyzable by the LON-CAPA statistics tools.
-
-For a single textfield, the student's answer will be in a variable \$submission. If the Custom Response has multiple textfields, the answers will be in an array
-reference, and can be accessed as \$\$submission[0], \$\$submission[1], etc.
-
-The student answer needs to be evaluated by Perl code inside the <answer>-tag. Custom Response needs to return a standard LON-CAPA. The most common response are:
-\begin{itemize}
-\item EXACT\_ANS: return if solved exactly correctly
-\item APPROX\_ANS: return if solved approximately
-\item INCORRECT: return if not correct, uses up a try
-\item ASSIGNED\_SCORE: partial credit (also return the credit factor, e.g. return(ASSIGNED\_SCORE,0.3);)
-\item SIG\_FAIL, NO\_UNIT, EXTRA\_ANSWER, MISSING\_ANSWER, BAD\_FORMULA, 
-WANTED\_NUMERIC, WRONG\_FORMAT: return if not correct for different reasons, does not use up a try
-\end{itemize}
-The answer display is shown instead of the student response in 'show answer' mode.
-The following example illustrates this:
-\begin{verbatim}
-<problem>
-<startouttext />Accept an answer of around 90 or -90<endouttext />

-Two types of Roles exist in LON-CAPA: Authoring Roles, and Course Roles. Construction roles are used to develop learning resources. The course role is where resources are used. You may have multiple instances of either type of role. For example, each separate course has a course role. You may develop more than one construction space role depending on your depth of usage of LON-CAPA.

LON-CAPA internally recognizes the types of resources by the filename extension. Within the authoring space, there are two methods to create a new resource:

\begin{itemize}
	\item If you are using Inline Menus, you may use the dropdrown menu on the right of the authoring screen to indicate the type of resource you want to create as shown in the figure \ref{New Content Menu}. The filename extension will be specified when you select the resource type. This method is best for new authors.
	\item Or, you may type the full url of the new resource in URL bar of your browser. You must use a valid file extension. LON-CAPA will recognize the new resource type by the filename extension and present you the appropriate menus to create your resource. This method is appropriate for advanced authoring.

\label{Creating_Math_Response_Problems}

Math response problems use a cas system to evaluate the student response. Which computer algebra system is to be used is specified in the cas argument of the mathresponse tag; currently, only Maxima is available.
LON-CAPA sets up two arrays inside the computer algebra system: RESPONSE and LONCAPALIST. RESPONSE contains the student input by comman-separated entities, for example, if "3,42,17" is entered by the student, RESPONSE[2] would be 42. LONCAPALIST contains the arguments passed in the args of mathresponse passed from the script in an vector.

The answerdisplay tag contains what is displayed when the problem is in "Show Answer" mode. You will want to include this field so that the students can see the correct answer after the "Show Answer Date" configured when the problem is assigned in the course space.

The following example illustrates this.
\begin{verbatim}
<problem>
  <script type="loncapa/perl">
$a1 = random(-6,6,4);
$a2 = random(-6,6,4);
$n1 = random(3,11,2);
$n2 = random(2,10,2);
$function = "$a1*cos($n1*x)+$a2*sin($n2*x)";
$example=&xmlparse('An example would be <m eval="on">$(sin($n1\cdot x)+cos($n2\cdot x))/\sqrt{2}$</m>');

+++ loncom/html/adm/help/tex/Custom_Response_Problem_Creation.tex
\label{Custom_Response_Problem_Creation}
Custom Response is a way to have a problem graded based on an algorithm. The use of this response type is
generally discouraged, since the responses will not be analyzable by the LON-CAPA statistics tools.

For a single textfield, the student's answer will be in a variable \$submission. If the Custom Response has multiple textfields, the answers will be in an array
reference, and can be accessed as \$\$submission[0], \$\$submission[1], etc.

The student answer needs to be evaluated by Perl code inside the <answer>-tag. Custom Response needs to return a standard LON-CAPA. The most common response are:
\begin{itemize}
\item EXACT\_ANS: return if solved exactly correctly
\item APPROX\_ANS: return if solved approximately
\item INCORRECT: return if not correct, uses up a try
\item ASSIGNED\_SCORE: partial credit (also return the credit factor, e.g. return(ASSIGNED\_SCORE,0.3);)
\item SIG\_FAIL, NO\_UNIT, EXTRA\_ANSWER, MISSING\_ANSWER, BAD\_FORMULA, 
WANTED\_NUMERIC, WRONG\_FORMAT: return if not correct for different reasons, does not use up a try
\end{itemize}
The answer display is shown instead of the student response in 'show answer' mode.
The following example illustrates this:
\begin{verbatim}
<problem>
<startouttext />Accept an answer of around 90 or -90<endouttext />
  <customresponse answerdisplay="something near 90 or -90">
    <answer type="loncapa/perl">
# We do not want a vector
if ($submission=~/\,/) { return 'EXTRA_ANSWER'; }
# Need a numerical answer here
if ($submission!~/^[\d\.\-\e]+$/i) { return 'WANTED_NUMERIC'; }
$difference=abs(90-abs($submission));
if ($difference==0) { return 'EXACT_ANS'; }
if ($difference < 0.1) { return 'APPROX_ANS'; }
return 'INCORRECT';</answer>
    <textline readonly="no" />
  </customresponse>
</problem>
\end{verbatim}


Full list of possible return codes:
\begin{itemize}
\item EXACT\_ANS: student is exactly correct
\item APPROX\_ANS:  student is approximately correct
\item NO\_RESPONSE: student submitted no response
\item MISSING\_ANSWER: student submitted some but not all parts of a response
\item EXTRA\_ANSWER: student submitted a vector of values when a scalar was expected
\item WANTED\_NUMERIC: expected a numeric answer and didn't get one
\item SIG\_FAIL: incorrect number of Significant Figures
\item UNIT\_FAIL: incorrect unit
\item UNIT\_NOTNEEDED: submitted a unit when one shouldn't
\item UNIT\_INVALID\_INSTRUCTOR: the unit provided by the author of the problem is unparsable
\item UNIT\_INVALID\_STUDENT: the unit provided by the student is unparasable
\item UNIT\_IRRECONCIBLE: the unit from the student and the instructor are of different types
\item NO\_UNIT: needed a unit but none was submitted
\item BAD\_FORMULA: syntax error in submitted formula
\item WRONG\_FORMAT: student submission did not have the expected format
\item INCORRECT: answer was wrong
\item SUBMITTED: submission wasn't graded
\item DRAFT: submission only stored
\item MISORDERED\_RANK: student submitted a poorly order rank response
\item ERROR: unable to get a grade
\item ASSIGNED\_SCORE: partial credit; the customresponse needs to return the award followed by the partial credit factor  
\item TOO\_LONG: answer submission was deemed too long
\item INVALID\_FILETYPE: student tried to upload a file that was of an extension that was not specifically allowed 
\item COMMA\_FAIL: answer requires the use of comma grouping and it wasn't provided or was incorrect
\end{itemize}

A \textbf{Function Plot Response} problem requires that the student create a plot that matches specified criteria. Examples can be functions that have certain slopes, curvature, maximima at specified independent coordinate values. The students create their answer by dragging the curves and adjusting the slopes.
