I tried searching but didnt come up with what I was looking for.
Just curious if anyone has created a dictionary for physics instructors who want to use the CASA problems. As of now if I try to find problems, they are listed in the browser by type number. It would make sense to have word descriptions for example Type09 = Work Energy Problems or something like that.
I dont have any intention of using this library much, but I was thinking of demonstrating to physics and engineering profs.

Hi Jim,
I think this will help you out. It's a WeBWorK course with the CAPA physics problems listed by homework sets with appropriate names. It may not be up to date, but it's a start.
The permissions for the course still need to be set so that guests can see the file path. I'll try to get to that soon. (OK -- that is done now.)
I also put up a summary on a wiki page if that helps.

Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Thanks for posting this on the wiki.
CAPA has evolved into LON-CAPA.
http://www.lon-capa.org/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LON-CAPA
Is anybody currently working on adapting content between that system and ours? (in either direction)
An interesting comparison of systems is published at

No-one is working on cross content integration between lon-CAPA and WeBWorK that I'm aware of -- at least not in the WeBWorK world. I don't know people using lon-CAPA so there may be efforts there.
I'm not even sure what lon-CAPA's current language looks like. Do you have examples of that?
