Thanks, James. I do find the Monitor useful, especially in f2f classes where I can identify students who are progressing more slowly for some reason and go and chat with them.

As far as using the MCQs to get a summary of completion, I was feeling quite positive about that until a student emailed me yesterday (yes, students and staff now work Sundays it would seem!) to say that he hadn't been offered the quiz, had been assigned a mark of zero and couldn't retake the quiz. The Monitor shows he completed the sequence but he has no mark assigned in Contribute, not even a zero. Now I'm only using the quiz in a formative sense so I'm not overly bothered. However, I would be interested to know whether others have seen similar things happen and any ideas as to what the problem might be (click-happy student?). Also, is this the appropriate place to raise issues like this or should I use the Tech Forum (this seems to be mainly install issues at present)? And what about requests for new features -- where should they go?
