Migrating Classes - FAQs
Which of my classes will be migrated?
All classes owned (taught/co-taught) by an admin approved teacher at the migrating school will be migrated
Will all class data be migrated?
Active classes that have had additions made to them in the past 12 months will be migrated entirely (ie. both teacher and student content)
In archived classes (or if an active class has not had any additions made in the past 12 months), only teacher uploaded content to the shared items folder will be migrated; the class discussion and individual student folders/content will not be migrated
What happens to student portfolio work in archived classes?
Since no student content in archived classes is migrated, student portfolio work from archived classes will disappear
We recommend students download any portfolio content they want to keep from old classes prior to the migration
What if I want to keep student work from an archived class?
Restore the class (make it active) if you want to maintain the class discussion and individual student folders
You must also make sure the class has had recent additions (in the past 12 months) in order for it to remain active
Note that a restored class will be visible to students once again and those students will be migrated as well
How do I make sure my class has had additions in the past 12 months?
Check the most recently added assignment in your class and make sure the last post date was within the past 12 months
When in doubt, post a new comment in an assignment
What if I have classes that do not need to be migrated?
If there are no co-teachers, delete the class
