Hello!

We like to tell us the solution we have found for
switching professor - student on our system.

We had four choices:
-Every teacher has one account for using it
as student.
Problems: -We have to learn to the people how to do that.
-Many accounts in the system.
-One teacher can "Login as this user", beeing that user one
of his students.
Problems: -Privacity of the data.
-New rol: something like a student rol who could switch to professor.
Problems: -Complexity.
-Our proppossal: We have added some code for do possible
switch the rol teacher - student. The code for that, with the files
modified, is in
http://pizarra.uv.es/ficheros/view/dotlrn-uv-packages/switchrol.tar.gz

That code is working Ok for us. It is easy to implement.
We think of has not security holes. Perhaps it is not the best solution
but it is working now.

Best regards,
Agustin
