Linda,

Here is the response back from Joe (I thought he'd cc:d you).  I think it probably makes sense to talk to the webmasters (online@lanecc.edu) to see if you can divide the course up into groups in such a way that you can do what you need.  If not, it sounds like (from Joe's message) that we should go ahead and split your course back in to single CRNs as soon as possible, before they submit assignments.

Webmasters: can you touch base with Linda about whether groups will work for what she wants to do?

David
