How does one get information into the heart and mind of another such that the other turns it into knowledge? Thousands of years of accumulative wisdom and we don't really have an answer yet. The instructor provides students with information, and let's grant for the sake of argument that it is the best possible information. Then the instructor defines the learning outcome as the acquisition of certain knowledge. There is a clear problem of misalignment here. Students essentially receive one thing and are assessed on another without knowing how to transition from one to the other. So, I'm inclined to think that it is students rather than teachers who have one of the toughest challenges, that is, resolving the misalignment between the materials and the expected outcomes. Creating aligned learning is also a challenge but not quite as tough.

Does not seem to be implemented in the Database activity.

It is available in the Dataform module either via a designated completion tracking criterion (Dataform_settings#Require_entries) or via the completion grade tracking and the Dataform auto grading by number of entries feature (Dataform_settings#Require_grade).

You can try implementing the gallery with the Dataform module. You can upload entries on behalf of the teachers and set the entries to display the user's picture and the user's name which is already a link to the user's profile. Or you can upload into entries teachers' images and url's to teachers' profile pages. Then you can use slideshow js (e.g. Fancybox, Thickbox or any  suitable Lightbox) or slider js with thumbs to display a whole entry in the slide.

Examples:

Dataform_Applications#Fancybox_gallery

... or rather "David's Seven Secrets Open Sources for Getting your Plugin Approved".

You can use css to hide it. Inspect the entry form in the browser to see how the input elements of the url field are rendered. In recent versions it's a table with the label and element of the url text as the second row.

Here is a simple illustration of the add template:

<div class="defaulttemplate"><table class="mod-data-default-template">
<tbody><tr class="r0">
<tr class="r1 lastrow">
<td class="template-field cell c0" style="">URL: </td>
<td class="template-token cell c1 lastcol" style="">URL</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Enclose the field tag in the add template with an identified div:

<div class="defaulttemplate"><table class="mod-data-default-template">
<tbody><tr class="r0">
<tr class="r1 lastrow">
<td class="template-field cell c0" style="">URL: </td>
<td class="template-token cell c1 lastcol" style=""><div id="id_myurl">URL</div></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

Add css in the css tab of the activity:

#id_myurl table tr:nth-child(2) {
   display: none;
}
