[LON-CAPA-users] assigning students to slots

[Susan J. Masten]

Carl,

I haven't used slots but I think you can go in and assign students to 
different sections.  Once you assign them to different sections, you can 
use the parameter settings to have different due dates for the same 
resources.  I hope this helps.
