An account is automatically created in the MSU LON-CAPA system for every student enrolled in a course that is using LON-CAPA. The username is the MSU Net ID. When a student logs-in, a course selection page is displayed that includes a list of all LON-CAPA courses in which the student is enrolled (learn more...).
Instructors may request creation of a LON-CAPA course using the online request form. A request should be made for creation of a LON-CAPA course for each semester for which LON-CAPA is to be used, as a separate course (and unique courseID) will exist for each semester (learn more...).
LON-CAPA is an open-source freeware Learning Content Management System, originally developed in the College of Natural Science at Michigan State University (visit the LON-CAPA project).

LON-CAPA is centrally supported at Michgan State University and available to departments university-wide. Read more about the LON-CAPA usage history at MSU.
