LON-CAPA Help

Select PARM on the Remote Control or Main Menu to set your course parameters. From that screen, choose the link for Table Mode.

The other parameters in the course apply with varying granularities to the components of the course, such as folders (maps/sequences/pages), problems, and students.

You can display parameters for the entire course or just select the enclosing folder (map). Then choose which of the three levels you want to set parameters for.

The three cascading levels () are:

1. Course level: The course default; will apply the parameter to every resource in the course.

2. Map/Folder level: Will apply the parameter to all resources in a particular folder or map, and will override the course defaults.

3. Resource level: Parameters apply only to one particular problem and those parameters override the map/folder level and course level parameters. You may want to use the Problem Parameter functionality (PPRM) instead ().

If you choose the map/folder level or resource level, you will be given options to choose which folder/map you want to display.

To set parameters, click on the underscore link in the appropriate location to add your parameter. Note, when setting resource level parameters, you must make changes under the "for Resource" column only.
