Issues with the links
Dec 16, 2010
Hello,
I started yesterday the course and it seems to me that some links are not working. Actually, I cannot access the exercises for the module 2 and 3, neither the html lesson of the module 3. Does it mean that the content is not yet upload?
Thank you for your time.

Same Issues as Rosalia
Dec 18, 2010
Hello friends,
I have the same problems reported by Rosalia, adding to them that module 4 does not appear in Course homepage, and it's only accessible through the flash lessons. Thus, there is no exercises, html lesson, nor PowerPoint summery for that module.
Thanks, Muhammad
