[LON-CAPA-users] Presenting Lon-Capa on IPS conference next week

Gene,

Thank you for the advice which I will follow.
If I find a recent and useful LMS comparison I will share it with the list.

Best regards
Itay

That is absolutely true, but leaves the door open for someone to enlighten me. (No one has yet.)

It was BB’s transition to Learn, in which they dropped some of the most important aspects of what was a meager problem-generation capability, that led to my introduction to LON-CAPA. Purdue uses Brightspace (formerly D2L, I think) now, but I have not explored its problem-generating capacity. If you learn of a recent LMS comparison, please let me know.
