I did a little more testing and the reason for the problem might be another one. Some of the courses have multiple instructors and it might be that one of them has creates a lesson and another one later want's to add something to this lesson. So it might be, that the one who wants to edit is not the owner of the specific lesson. But you can not see, how had created a lesson initially and also it would be useful that all instructors can edit all contents of their course. But to give you a specific example, it happens if this user wants to edit this lesson. (you need to be in group "smapOne" or admin to access this course, if you check out).

We are using the "courses" feature a lot for e-learning within our community. And from time to time the contents of the courses needs to be updated. But after some time (maybe like 2 or 3 months) the course instructors are not allowed to edit the course's content anymore. Here is the message the get: In the group's settings under they are allowed to edit without time restriction: But they still get this message. It' works if I give them moderators, but I can't give moderator permissions to every course instructor, who's task is just to maintain a specific course and keep it's contents up to date. How can I give course instructors permissions to edit the contents of their own courses without time restrictions and without making them moderators?

Sorry, it's me again. But that can't be right! I've done some further test and for me it looks like that global setting "Passing Score" actually is handled as a percentage value. See my test. I've created a simple course having 1 quiz with 4 question scoring 1 Point each. So the quiz has a total of 4 points. If "Passing Score" is set to 80: Result for answering 3 out of 4 questions correctly is failed (red "75%" in the top right corner): Now if I set "Passing Score" to be 70: The result for the very same quiz is "passed" (see the 75% in the top right corner is green now): And if you set "Passing Score" to more than 100 then you fail at the quiz (red colored "100%") even with all questions answered correctly. So it's not just in my mind. The setting says "Passing score" (an absolute value, just as you explained in your second answer) but it actually is handled as a percentage value (That's how your first answer reads to me, despite the actual setting does not tell that it expects a percentage value.) I think to get this straight at least the wording of the setting needs to be fixed. And it should not be possible to set it to more than "100", because that will break quizzes.

Oh, ok. Now I understand. I got your first reply wrong. Sorry for that! But then that whole setting would not be very useful, because it is a global setting. That means, that every quiz in ever module in every course needs to be designed in a way, so that all questions always sum up to the same total score. Otherwise, it feels random to the user how many questions of a quiz need to be answered correctly to pass it. I mean some quizzes have like 5 question others may have 20. Well, yes one could change the individual score for each question. But what if you add another question to a quiz later? Then you have to change all scores for all other questions in a quiz to match the total again? So, an absolute passing score should be set on quiz level, to be individually suitable for each quiz. But a global setting should be a percentage value to be applicable for all quizzes. At least what I've observed from my tests is, that users pass the quiz if they answer all questions of a quiz correctly, even if the total score does not exceed the set limit. I'd like to give some margin for wrong answers. But we currently have 22 quizzes in 18 courses with a total of more than 150 questions. It's impossible to make them all fit the same total passing score. So it's always 100% or nothing. 😕

Sorry, but I think I don't understand what yo mean by that. The screenshots above are from the platform (AdminCP). We did not customize that. What do you mean by I "have invented a percentage"? I also don't see where the statement "As the setting says, its a percentage score" refers to. Because the setting literally says "Minimum score required in order for the user to pass the quiz and complete the module" and "passing score" and when editing a question in a quiz you assign it a "score". Maybe I miss the details here, because I'm not a native English speaker. But for me that refers to the very same: an absolute score as a passing limit. Not a relative percentage. So if it actually is a percentage (very much preferable), I guess wording should be changed for that setting. Also there should be a upper limit of 100 for that field. That would help to understand that setting.

For course quizzes you can globally set a "Passing Score" which can be any number greater or equal 0. But how does that affect the course quizzes? Our course quizzes usually have like 5 to 15 questions and we score 1 point per question. So the users can get between 5 and 15 point. I want them do pass the quiz if they answer 75% of the questions correctly. So I've set the "passing score" to 75 but I don't know if that's the way it's meant to be, because it says "score" not "percentage" and the users can't even get 75 points if he answers 100% correct. Also It would be hard to make all the quizzes in a way that all answers always sum up to the exact same total score to make a global setting of an absolute score work? And what happens if I set the "Passing score" to like 2500?

Ok, I've figured it out. Seems like one of the scripts delivered by in Google Tag Manger seems to break the video embedding (and ad blocker fixes this by blocking GTM). Sorry for the inconvenience! I'll take a look into how to fix GTM.

Can you confirm that this is a bug or are we using it wrong? And if, so: what would we need to change to make it work?

We've just tried out the new "Live Topics" feature that was added last year, but we didn't manage to get the live video stream working. What did we do? I have set up a new "test live topic" and entered a random currently running live stream from YT, e.g. that one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nV8_nx_QpQM Also tried the URL vom YT's embed code: https://www.youtube.com/embed/nV8_nx_QpQM?si=QzsBwgEESYpC4Gcc The result for all browsers (except one, more below) is an empty black rectangle. Browsers tested: Chrome, MS Edge, Firefox, Safari, Chrome Mac. Result: The only combination where I could get it work, was Firefox (Windows) with an ad-blocker ("uBlock origin") enabled! When disabling the ad-blocker the video again does not show. We also tried several other currently running YT live videos. All with the same result. What are we doing wrong here? Any help appreciated.
