Joseph,
An assembled sequence created in construction space is used if you somehow want
access to the complete set from the resource browser. For example, you want to insert
a folder as a monolithic chunk of problems that can't be changed under the course.
An assembled sequence also makes a nice 'shopping list' for including individual
problems.
What we typically do here these days is the following:
* Create a folder in the course under edit course.
* Import problem you want in the assignment. You can then rename the titles
under edit course as well as encrypt the URL, etc....
* At the beginning of the next semester, I clone the course. The new instructor can
easily go into edit course and rearrange, add or delete problems.
* If I want a published sequence representing the assignments from the course, I can
dump the contents of the course into a directory in construction space and publish
the assignments I created under edit course.
* If the sequence itself is imported, the instructor cannot change the order of problems, nor can
they add problems to the folder.
Let me know if any of this makes sense. A more detailed discussion of this can be provided if you want.
Later,
Mark
