I simply love using LON-CAPA in my classes. I distinctly see improvements in grades and understanding of the material. I think my kids (at least kids who care about their education) like it as well. They clearly see the difference between HW graded by me and HW feedback by LON-CAPA. I replaced only 50% of my HW with Lon-CAPA assignments. and when I grade HW I am strict and not forgiving:, they have no second chance. LON-CAPA (unlike me) is friendly and more forgiving: my students have 10 tries to answer without punishment. I think LON-CAPA teaches kids many skills and provides great opportunities for learning.
