[Fwd: Re: [LON-CAPA-users] Importing IMS packages]

[Michael Dugdale]

Hi Guy,

Thanks so much for your help with this.  Classes are starting Monday, and
I was a little panicked when I couldn't log into my course.

Interestingly enough, I was able to load it through construction space
today, without changing the procedure I was using.  Perhaps I'd screwed up
my privileges with my attempts to load the package into the course.

Thanks again for your help,

Cheers,
Mike
