Is it possible to create a quiz that will give the student full credit for simply submitting it?

I am looking for advise. I am trying to create an unfacilitated self-paced course. Just how much should the facilitator be involved in and unfacilitated course?

How to stop notifications showing students their grades from hidden grade items?
We're relatively new to D2L, and I've got an issue with instructors publishing grades.

How to make a global Widget that functions based on the current course?
The following specific issue is an example of a more general one we're facing: We have several small features (widgets, intelligent agents, possibly others) that we'd like to add to many courses all at once, and manage the feature as a single entity rather than go into each course one by one. But they need to function…
