eLearning for Faculty – Backing up content!!

Filed under: Tech Tips, distance learning, eLearning — Hailey Ruoff @ July 21st, 2009

As a faculty member there are two distinct ways to back-up the content in your eLearning course.  An internal back-up, which will save all the content that you created in case of a system failure AND a local back-up of all the student content.

The internal back-up should be done once at the beginning of the semester and then once when ALL of your content is in place. The system administrator takes these files and saves them for use (if needed) in the future. You are also able to save a copy on your U drive “just in case” but will NOT be able to use this file without assistance from the system administrator. You can find a tutorial on how to create a system back-up here: System Back-up of eLearning

In order to save your class information in a format that is readable to you (ie: you do not need a system administrator to restore it for you) several steps need to be taken. Tutorials for backing up Discussion Threads, Mail, Assessments and Assignments can be found here:

Online Learning Opportunities at SUNY Cortland – SUNY Learning Network

Filed under: distance learning — Information Resources @ January 26th, 2009

SUNY Cortland students have the opportunity to take online (asynchronous) courses in a variety of subject areas. This can be an especially convenient option during summer and winter sessions, when it is possible to enroll in courses and earn credits without physically being on the Cortland. Since the inception of online education over ten years ago, over 5,500 students have enrolled in more than 500 online courses. Online courses are designated ASYNCH in the Registrar’s Schedule of Classes and require departmental permission.

In addition to SUNY Cortland online courses, students may enroll in hundreds of courses offered each semester through the SUNY Learning Network. The SUNY Learning Network (SLN) is a partnership in learning with many SUNY campuses, including Cortland.

For more information about online education at SUNY Cortland, visit the Information Resources Distance Learning webpage.
