DL Tip of The Week - End of Course/Start of Course Preparation - Refresher

For closing out this semesters class and preparing for summer (or fall), I will refer you back to a previous tip http://hctconline.blogspot.com/2013/12/dl-tip-of-week-end-of-semester-checklist.html:

This week's tip is meant to help you end your current term and prepare for the next term.

First is completing the end of semester check list. To end the term in each of your online classes you need to:

1. You need to download your gradebook from the Grade Center
2. Archive your course (and download the archive)*
3. Export your course (and download the export)*
4. Make your course unavailable (Under Control Panel, Click Customization > Properties > Select No on Set Availability, and click Submit). If you have incomplete grades, do not make your course unavailable. If you want to disable users, please refer to a prior blog about disabling users.

*After you download your Archive or Export, please remember to delete the Archive or Export from your course as this will add to your course storage size.

Preparing for next term:

Take the time now to copy or export/import. Refer to the prior blogs below to help you get started.
