2 New in CAPE 2.7

Import

The Import language element is introduced in this version, which enables Python modules to be imported as Condition Sets without actually using the Condition Set Filters. This feature enables authors to externally edit Condition Sets and Functions, thus making it easier to manage courseware source.

Profiles

The Profile language element is also new in this version, it provides access to persistent data containers such as the Learner, Assignment, Class or Courseware. Profiles are like condition sets, they can contain the same elements as condition sets with the exception of functions.

Adaptive Resource Path

From this version on the Path attribute of both the Resources and the Resource elements can be a python expression. This means that when CAPE reaches out to the filesystem to load resources the value of the Path attribute gets evaluated.

Coursevare access is controllable

The Uploader has a new Visibility field that lets authors control who has access to their courseware, the options are: Public, Institution and Private.

New Condition Set Attribute

From this version Condition Sets support the CSRole attribute. It can have three values: Normal, Design and Build, with the later two authors can easily add design time wizards or builders to the model.
