How do I rearrange my announcement on my announcement page or home page?
I've found that Assigning content (Assign To) to students still allows those via Public and Institutional Visibility (Course Visibility) to see content. In my testing, this happens with Module visibility as well as Content in a module. I'm wondering if this is intended or not as this allows students outside of the course…

I have a multi-part question. I have quizzes that allow unlimited attempts (since they pull from a very large question set) with the highest score showing in the gradebook. I also set a due date, but only because I had assumed that even if a student took it "late" their previous attempts earning a top score will remain in…
