      The setting Enable activity chooser in Preferences / Course preferences allows teachers the option of using the very old resource and activity drop-down menus. However, the setting is available for all users (not only teachers), despite it having no relevance for non-teachers. To avoid confusion and unnecessary clutter, it would be great if this setting could be removed.
