Typically all author functions will be completed using a web browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE or similar). |
|
The one exception to this is where your LON-CAPA domain has been configured to support webDAV access, in which |
|
case you may be able to carry out standard file operations (copy, move, add file etc.) using your computer's |
|
standard filesystem interface, after you have established access to your authoring space volume. |
|
|
LON-CAPA has three work spaces: the ROLES menu, the course/community space where courses are developed from resources, and the authoring space where resources are composed and published. There are two user manuals for LON-CAPA, a course coordinator manual and author manual. Also, quick reference guides are available for both manuals at \texttt{http://help.loncapa.org}. This is the author manual used to create resources such as problems that can later be added to your course. |
