Tim,
Quote: "The situation that is not dealt with well is when you have a group of teachers collaborating on a course."
You have just described an extremely common ( 95 % + ) that we are running into with cooperative Moodle site courses, and shared learning courses.
So FP 2.0 works for solo practioners...what about a multi-instructor courses?
Your work-around (even if possible) sounds painful to deploy and/or admin. There must be a better way to address this need...Elena ivanova spotted this issue way back in Aug. 2010 and posted extensively on it...is anyone in Moodle HQ taking it seriously? I know she got them to support legacy files but i don't really call that a solution...what about fixing FP 2.x's processes?
