I currently, have a faculty who normally would allows students to watch Films of the same category and write an assessment based on the film, if they couldn't attend class to review the film as a whole class.

Is there a way of making units in a course or quizzes within a unit optional so that it doesn't stop a learner earning an award where the requirements are set as 'Visit all content modules'. I can't see the option.

Two things... Is it possible to create a moderated discussion/survey that does not carry a point value? Also, when creating a survey, that was made available, however, students are still unable to see it?
