Thanks Steve.

Are you saying that use Canvas= MOOC.  How is Canvas different than Moodle?

Terry

My Observations:

From the backend software - no difference as both are complex.

From the frontend teacher view - Canvas is much more simplified than Moodle

From the student view - Canvas appears clean and simplified compared to Moodle

Since this posting I have examined more "portable" LMS applications from Drupal and Wordpress.  My wish is to find a "micro-MOOC"/LMS system that is open-source, accessible (ease of use, mobile-friendly etc.), and content transparent (export/import, XML etc.).  Most that I have seen are too complex or difficult to export easily.  LMS's seem to try to mimic the analog school with tracking and confinement.  However, a Blog CMS, or social network is more open and suggest a different perspective on e-learning from traditional regiment.

After reviewing the programming challenges of capitalization for exceptions, the only correction possible is on a character after the :?!

However, it would not be possible for automatic differenciation between a proper name (i.e., Green) and the colour green in the title.  Given that online translators are getting better, perhaps there will be a future citation program that can translate into APA capitals.  On the other hand it would be super easy if APA just changed the title format to Title Case.

One solution to overcome the contextural dilema of titles is to apply a predictive API  (i.e., https://developers.google.com/prediction/).  I envision prediction coupled with dictionary training as a way to offset a particular citation style.
