Bio:
I currently teach students enrolled in CIS courses at Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, IL. I teach a wide variety of courses, but mostly software and productivity courses. Previously to that, I was the director of the college's instructional design department where I supervised the implementation of Canvas on our campus as faculty migrated courses from Moodle to Canvas. (As well as many other projects.) Previous to that, I was employed in a rural k-12 school district where I taught 3rd grade, 5th grade, 8th Grade social science, and computer technology. (Small school district teachers have to be versatile!) I have a Master in Educational Technology degree from Pepperdine University. I completed a Bachelor of Education degree at Illinois State University.

One out of five courses here.  Very odd. I tried switching the sort order to something else, then back to alpha. It didn't help.

@JJacobs7  It sounds like you've been thinking it through.    Good luck!

HI @JJacobs7  I have to agree with @SusanNiemeyer .  77 modules to scroll through is a lot.  While your folks might be able to handle it, why create a frustrating learning environment when you...

@LauraJiménez  I did some testing of my own, as I was curious. This was with New Quizzes.  I built a quiz with one multiple choice question and one essay question. I then submitted it three times....
