Well, since you ask...

I think that whether or not to hide teachers should be left up to the administrator of the course. It should be more or less a local decision.

Hi, Vasiliki G,

One answer (maybe not perfect) is that your students can choose in their profile settings to receive a daily digest of headlines.

There is more info about forum subscriptions here - http://docs.moodle.org/en/Forum_subscription

Hope that helps a little.

I am thinking of changing every response to "congratulations" just to mess with their minds and keep them in suspense a little bit more.

LOL!

Hi, Vinny,

Could you have them write their questions in a text file in the aiken format or the Gift format and import them?

Just a thought.

Importing "Aiken" format files

The Aiken format is a very simple way of creating multiple choice questions using a clear human-readable format. Here is an example of the format:

What is the correct answer to this question?
A. Is it this one?
B. Maybe this answer?
C. Possibly this one?
D. Must be this one!
ANSWER: D

Which LMS has the most quiz import formats?
A) Moodle
B) ATutor
C) Claroline
D) Blackboard
E) WebCT
F) Ilias
ANSWER: A

The question must be all on one line.

Each answer must start with a single-letter character, followed by a period '.' or a bracket ')', then a space.

The answer line must immediately follow, starting with "ANSWER:" and then giving the appropriate letter.
