Setting up a grade category with multiple assignment options
Is there a way to set up a grade category with multiple assignment options so that students only have to complete one of the assignments and the others won't affect their grade? I have a final project with 3 options, all worth the same amount of points.

Bulk Options for Content
My question is if there is a bulk "hide" option for content modules? I know there are bulk edit options, but if there is a bulk hide option I must be missing it.

If someone can point me to a bug reporting location, that would…

LOR - Broad Overview and Explanation?
Hi - I have looked at the documentation for the LOR, but most of it is focused on how to do things, not what they are and what they mean. For example, "Associate trusts with a repository." What does this mean? What is it for? Is there a high-level overview and introduction to the LOR anywhere? Thanks, Brock
