Where are student submissions after a course merge occurs stored?
I'm aware the data such as assignment submissions already submitted in a course does not reflect in the new merged course (once this happens). Is there any way for administrators or instructors to access this student data? Is it stored somewhere accessible? A use case for this would be papertrail or a backup of student…

How do I set up attendance for daily classes.
Our classes run for 15 weeks and I don't see how I could cram 15 weeks into register. Is there a calendar version. Helpful to link students to missed lectures, handouts, assignments.

I set up attendance for my course sections. Is there a way to automate the attendance process?
I have about 50 students in each section and it would take an inordinate amount of time to manually take attendance each class session if there is no way to automate this process. I have used other applications that automate attendance, but they charge students an additional fee, which I am trying to avoid if at all…

I have a quiz that has been graded and it won't publish to the gradebook.

Work To Do - How can students "Complete" a module or reading?
One of our instructors noticed that it doesn't seem like students can ever finish the modules or readings that appear in Work To Do. Since instructors put Due Dates on modules (for good reason) they appear in Work To Do but students can never clear them from their list and they become Overdue, which is confusing to…

Discussion - Feedback from instructor
Hi, Is it possible for instructors to know if the feedback they've given on a discussion post using the grading tool has been read by a student? In assignments - there is clearly a way for instructors to see this. But I don't see anything similar in discussions. Please help? -Linda
