If a user is assigned a role in the System context (Site administration -> Users -> Permissions -> Assign system roles) or in a Course category context, then the user will have this role in ALL courses within the context. For example, a user who is assigned the Teacher role in the System context will appear as a Teacher in all courses on the site, including the Front page course.

Except in very special cases, teachers and students should be assigned their respective roles in a Course context. When these roles are assigned in a System context, it is almost always an error on the part of the administrator.

If you have accidentally assigned a System role, go to Administration > Users > Permissions > Assign system roles unassign users using the right-facing arrow button. Then re-assign the roles in the appropriate Course context.

Why doesn't Questions per page work like I expect in Biggyan Cloud eLearning?

Biggyan Cloud eLearning gives you a lot of flexibility in relation to how your quiz is laid out. You can move questions around and control exactly where the page breaks come. However, this is not really clear unless you turn on the 'Show page breaks' check-box at the bottom-left of the quiz editing page.Therefore, when you change the 'Questions per page' setting one the quiz settings form, Biggyan Cloud eLearning does not immediately repaginate your quiz. If it did, then it might overwrite your manual changes to the quiz layout.To actually change the current layout of the quiz, you need to first turn on the 'Show page breaks' option, and then use the repaginate control.The effect that 'Questions per page' does have is that when you add new questions to the quiz, it automatically inserts page breaks to keep the new questions paginated as you ask. Also, when the 'Shuffle questions' option is on, the questions are split into pages according to the Questions per page option after they have been shuffled.We are aware that this is a very confusing user interface (and that is putting it politely!) This is being sorted out for Biggyan Cloud eLearning.
