  1. The LearningOnline Network with Computer-Assisted Personalized Approach(LON-CAPA) Gerd Kortemeyer Michigan State University

  2. LON-CAPA What is LON-CAPA?

  3. LON-CAPA • Learning Content Management System • Assessment System • Open-Source and Free

  4. LON-CAPA • Learning Content Management System • Assessment System • Open-Source and Free

  5. LearningOnline Network • LON-CAPA learning content management is: • a cross-institutional cross-disciplinary content repository • a tool to seamlessly assemble this content • a complete course management system to readily deploy this content

  6. Bottom:Virtual Filesystem “The aisles of your supermarket”

  7. Bottom: Virtual Filesystem • Static metadata: Dublin Core, cross-walk to IMS • Dynamic metadata: use assembly data for recommender system:

  8. LearningOnline Network

  9. Bottom: Virtual Filesystem • Currently links 3 middle schools, 18 high schools, 4 community colleges, and 24 universities • 20,900 content pages • 18,600 homework and exam problems • 12,500 images • 2,100 content assemblies • 1,100 simulations and animations • 500 movies • Publisher libraries, “back of the chapter problems”

  10. Middle: Resource Assembly Tool

  11. Includes the two into her unit on conservation laws Writes module on energy conservation Writes module on momentumconservation Uses that unit in his course LearningOnline Network

  12. Top: Complete Course Management System • Course Navigation Tools • Communication features (discussion, thread) • Announcements • Portfolio space • Homework, Exams (online/offline)

  13. LON-CAPA • Learning Content Management System • Assessment System • Open-Source and Free

  14. LON-CAPA’s Approach • Online assessment with immediate adaptive feedback and multiple tries • Different students get different versions of the same problem • different options • different graphs or images • different numbers or formulas

  15. Same problem, two students

  16. Formative Assessment • Feedback to the student • “how am I doing?” • “what is expected?” • Feedback to the instructor • “how is my class doing?” • “what do I need to deal with, and what not?” • Just-In-Time Teaching(reading and problems due before class)

  17. Feedback to Instructor One Homework Set

  18. Feedback to Instructor

  19. Problem Analysis

  20. Formative Assessment: Peer-Teaching

  21. Summative Assessment

  22. Summative Assessment

  23. Turning Summative into Formative

  24. Turning Summative into Formative

  25. LON-CAPA • Learning Content Management System • Assessment System • Open-Source and Free

  26. LON-CAPA • Open-source free software • GNU General Public License • No license fees • Can be modified, extended, improved, adapted ... • Runs on Linux, no license fees for operating system • Developed by educators for educators

  27. LON-CAPA Does it work?

  28. Effectiveness LON-CAPA is a tool, not a curriculum. Effectiveness depends on how it is used.

  29. Time on Task: 10,000 students x5

  30. Time-On-Task • Academic year 2004/2005 • Approx 12,600 (fall) and 10,800 (spring) MSU students • 100,000 logins 16 days into the year • 1,000,000 logins by March, seven months into the year • Approx 30,000 students systemwide

  31. Before/After Time-On-Task vs. Perceived Helpfulness

  32. Formative vs. Summative

  33. Formative vs. Summative

  34. Exam and Course Grades

  35. Gender Differential • phy231: traditional • phy232: CAPA

  36. LON-CAPA What’s Next?

  37. Formative Assessment in Class • In-Class Use of LON-CAPA • Partnering with Harvard (Mazur group) and Eckerd (Junkin) on next generation “clickers”

  38. Formative Assessment in Class More Information: Session DF 1:45-3:30 EMCB 105 Martin Vogt Harvard Bill Junkin Eckerd

  39. Funding • Initially developed at Michigan State University • Additional funding of CAPA by Sloan and Mellon Foundations • Today funded by Michigan State University, publisher and service contracts, and the National Science Foundation within the ITR and CCLI-ASA programs
