+
+<P>Normal an exercise is open, that is if an Exercise is visible, students can

+ <p>The Use Password option is used to associate a
+ "access" password with the exercise. There may be
+ occasions when it is necessary to password protect an exercise. For
+ example, an exercise may be used with several groups of students in a
+ course and each group is set the exercise at different times. The access
+ password is used to prevent the "second" group of students, say,
+ from doing the exercise once the exercise has been opened up for the
+ "first" group.</P>
