Abstract

With funding of the National Science Foundation Information Technology Research program, the LearningOnline Network with CAPA (LON-CAPA) Initiative aims to create and sustain a cross-institutional distributed platform for content creation, sharing, and delivery. LON-CAPA will allow groups of organizations (schools, departments, universities, commercial business) to link their online instructional resources in a common marketplace, thus creating an online economy for instructional resources
