Oh, I KNEW you were going to say that!

Thanks, John. That really is very helpful. You answers are always so precise and easy to follow.

Thank you for that helpful info. That does make things a bit clearer. But... Can a teacher do that? or does an admin have to do that?

Thank you,

Great! Looking forward to it, Anthony.

> Roles -> Override roles -> "Student" and then turn features on and off as you please.

That seems pretty clear, I guess. Thanks!

Two questions:

1. Unless I give the teacher permission to do so, he/she cannot override roles, right? The admin can do that by default, but not the teacher. Or am I wrong about that.
2. If I were to deny students permission to post to a forum, I could do this at the activity level or the course level or the site level? Or not?

Sorry I am so dim about roles, everyone. Thanks for any light you may shed on this little issue for me. (I have already upgraded to 1.8, by the way, in an attempt to force myself to get my head around roles by the start of school. Oh, the excitement of living on the edge!!!)
