Can BrightSpace confirm that the "Short Description" field for Quiz questions is NEVER accessible b
It is tempting to name Quiz questions in a way that may give away the answer. Obviously this would be a bad idea if the "Short Description" field ever leaks through to the student. Can BrightSpace state definitively that this won't happen? I have not been able to find any documentation about this.

Is there any configuration where I can keep courses on Discover even after the user has registered
The idea is that the student will be able to access the page and see all courses published in Discover (the ones he is enrolled in, and the ones he can enroll).Some of the students have difficulty with technology, and others access by cell phone, so just by clicking on Discover they would see all the courses offered.
