Academic Calendar - "Content" tab

Academic Calendar - "Content" tab

LMS

We are using the "Content" tab on the Academic Calendar as a "Notice Board" for the week.  Allowing the Internal Staff member to post weekly important details that are changing year over year on timing for the activity.  This means we CANNOT put them in a Learning Activity because it changes last minute and we wouldn't want to confuse the students if we dragged the activity around mid-course.

We would ideally be able to "schedule" these out with start dates (which already are there) but ALSO have them "expire" and fall off automatically so that the page doesn't get cluttered with content tabs as you cannot currently "remove" a content tab unless you delete it.  This would also allow us to setup content that is re-useable year over year but change the publish date and expire date to suit the new course/class year based on scheduling for the next year.

Also we would love to be able to "reorder" the content tabs on the administration screen and have that reflected on the external screen.  Right now it is either alphanumeric sorting, or Id sorting.
