Moodle ISU Course Archive Policy
Moodle ISU courses are available to instructors until 4 weeks from the start of the same term two years later. (i.e., Fall 2016 courses will no longer be available after the fourth week of the Fall 2018 term.)
We strongly recommend backing up your courses and downloading the backup files to your computer at the end of each semester. Faculty are responsible for storing course materials.
Please delete backup files from Moodle ISU after downloading. This will help to manage storage space and keep Moodle ISU running smoothly. The ITRC may delete excess backup files if needed.
Instructor responsibilities
It is recommended that you create a folder on your computer to retain all backups and downloads of your Moodle data.
-
Create a folder on your computer to contain all your backup files. (You may want to organize this file by class or by academic year.)
-
You will only need to create backups for the data you wish to save. Use the checklist below to guide you in deciding which information to export/download.
[Note: If you need to restore user data into a Moodle ISU course, contact the ITRC - (208) 282-5880 or itrc@isu.edu]
