Your data in the Final Site LMS at the end of the school year

Dear all,

With the end of the academic year approaching, we’d like to make sure you are aware of what will happen with your information in the Final Site LMS during the vacation.

You do not need to do anything now. Nothing will be lost. All importing into new classes will take place at the beginning of the 2016 -17 academic year. Your Technology Facilitators will be here to support you in this process.

All of your current classes will be archived (this means they are saved in a place where you can find them easily) during the vacation. All resources, all media,, all bulletins currently in the LMS will be saved. In August, the LMS will be ready for development for your new classes. You will be able to import the archived data into your new classes. Data which cannot be imported is anything which has a specific date such as calendar events and Dropbox deadlines (although they will have been saved for reference).

Below is the menu bar of a typical class page. See below for details about the data behind each button.

Home: With just a few clicks, this page can be copied from an archived class to a new class.

Calendar: Events in your calendar must be created again for the next academic year.

Gradebook & Attendance: Not used at ISL … no worries.

Resources: With just a few clicks, resource folders and files can be copied from an archived class to a new class.

DropBox: Tasks in your DropBox must be created again for the next academic year.

Media: Is anyone using this?

Bulletins: Bulletins must be created again for the new academic year.

Blog: Blog posts must be created again for the new academic year, but you can copy and paste information from an archived class.

Discussions: Discussion boards can be imported from an archived class.

Members: This information is imported directly from INSIS.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Regards,

Steve and Matt
