Step 1: Get Set Up for the Clean Up
Goal for Step One
Let's get started by getting our course shells set up that we'll be doing our clean up work in. With the steps below, you'll have a copy of your course that you can save as a backup and a working version that you can freely work in.
Step One Tasks
- Request 'backup' sandboxes
Links to an external site. for each of the courses you’ll be cleaning up. You can request them all at once, or one at a time as you move through each of your courses.
- Bonus Tip: Take a moment to clear up your Dashboard Links to an external site. in order to more easily move between the 'backed up' version and the working version of your course.
- Import your current course Links to an external site. into your backup sandbox. You will not be working in or making any changes to this sandbox. This is just a backup of your course.
- Import your current course again into your new empty course shell for the new semester.
- Bonus Tip: Consider removing or shifting all of the dates Links to an external site. in your course at this time.
