of LON-CAPA. That is absolutely true, but leaves the door open for someone to enlighten me.

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.</span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;">BR,</span></span><br></p><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;"> </span></span><br></p><div><p class="qt-MsoNormal"><span style=""><span class="size" style="font-size:12pt;">Gene L.
