@ Karim - You don't list what version of Moodle you are using so I'm just going to link you to the 2.x guide on importing questions into the question bank.

@Yossi - Without seeing an example of this file that was sent to you, it is hard to make a recommendation on your situation. You will probably have to break the large file down into smaller files for each purpose though as Moodle doesn't have a way to do all that you need in one shot.

For example, take all the users to be created and put them in their own file. You could then upload users from CSV file. Not only can you have Moodle create the users in this file, you can also have it enroll them in the necessary courses and put them in groups.

Happy oodling!

I'm not sure what version of Moodle you are using but there are a couple blocks that have been created by others that may meet your needs. See this post I made to someone a little while ago that had a similar question.

I have not tested all of the blocks but I believe the Categorized Course List (option #2 in post) and the sitenavigation (option #3 in post) create a tree effect where users will see the top-level category structure and then when selected see sub-categories or courses underneath it.

If these blocks don't meet your exact needs than perhaps you can adjust the code for these blocks. That way you don't have to start from scratch.

Instead of offline assignments you could just create them as a grade items into the gradebook. Grade items you can enter a point value in as the max grade as compared to regular assignments having the pull-down menu.

Offline assignments do offer the benefit of showing up on the course homepage and providing a description of what the assignment is. If you think this part isn't absolutley necessary than grade items are the way to go.

Is what is being posted to the News Forum first typed into MS Word and then copied into Moodle? If it is, then it is bringing along extra code from MS Word that may be causing this. I have seen one case of this happening in my instance. You could check the HTML source of your post to see if you see all that extra code.

Your instructor may have the gradebook set to not show aggregates. The gradebook allows instructors to display the grader report in three ways: Grades Only, Collapsed and Full View. You can get more of a description of each in the Moodle Docs - Gradebook_Display.

Just in case you can't see it from their picture, the icon they select is like below. Your instructor may have selected this icon so that it is only showing grades and not the aggregate; which in this case is the course total.
