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:

Backing up all content in Discussion threads

Backing up handed in assignments
