[WWdevel] recording instructor answers

[Michael G. <ga...@ma...>]

We actually specifically decided against it, since we didn't want the  
instructor's answers mixed in
with the student's answers.  I suppose we can revisit the decision,  
but there are good reasons
not to record instructor answers, so if we are going to think about  
again it we should do it thoroughly.

  It's easy enough to log in as a practice student to see how things
REALLY work.

I agree that the error message is  misleading and needs some kind of  
explanation.  We can also
add some information that reminds instructors that their answers are  
not recorded. I often forget that fact myself.

Take care,

Mike
