I still intend to follow those topics generally, but assuming this is going to be published I would rather leave just the 6 topics and flesh out the outline detail as we get closer. So I deleted the bullets in the wiki and made it conform with my email to Audrey on 11/28.

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to attach it for download. And I'm not able to re-create your issue; the session loads for me.
However, I will check and see if someone on my team has another suggestion for you.
Regards,
Audrey

There is one sneaky way to download the files. You need a flashgrabber (For example "Flash Hunter") that enables you to store the files locally. I installed such a tool for exactly this reason. I want to have local access to the BPMN e-learning series when I wasn't online (in a train, etc.)
