Unenrolling a Student While Saving Their Work
I've read on the discussions page of D2L that if a user is accidentally unenrolled, their data such as statistics and submissions are automatically restored when they are re-enrolled in the Org Unit.

Pre/Post Group Self Assessment
I'm interested in using a survey to conduct a pre-and post-course evaluation. I goal is to use one survey with branching.

How do I exclude the observing instructor from the list of users when adding special access?
I created a new role and named it "Observing Instructor". Now this new role, as an Observer, can access what regular teachers can access, except to delete, from the assigned course.
