[LON-CAPA-users] practice problems

[Ray Batchelor]

Well, I see no-one who knows better has responded yet... so...
I believe that if you have problems which are published "Public".
The you can simply give the students the URL of the problem.
They then just go directly to that URL without logging-in and it should behave 
asit would for a course coordinator  browsing RES. i.e. they can request a 
new randomization.

I do not know if this funtionality yet works while logged in, but I doubt it.

The important point is that the problems must be published "Public".
