As an admin, am I able to archive a course that includes the student data via the GUI or an API? I a aware of the new K16 archiving solution but was wondering it is possible to do it outside of that vendor.
Thank you in advance for your help!
I guess I would need to understand better what is meant by "archiving."
All our courses remain, with student data, after courses end/conclude. They get moved to Past Enrollments which for our district is, in essence, archived. There are some settings that can be changed where students can or can not view content in a course after it concludes; our default is to allow them to view content (they cannot view quizzes after a course concludes). But this setting can be changed in the course.
Hi @casey_eubank
If you mean "archive" in the sense that some other LMSs (like Blackboard) allow, where you can save everything included course contents, student data, grades, etc. to a file that can be saved into a backup storage system and imported back into Canvas later, then no, there's not really any built-in functionality to do that.
@LEASUSAN
When you say "ancient legacy content", are you referring to actual course content, or are you referring to student submissions/activity/grades?
I believe it's old course content from the system we had before Canvas. I spot checked a few courses and didn't see any student data.
Ok, great. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious. Thanks!
Hi, My school uses Canvas LMS for students to submit assignments, view course content, etc.; we then use Populi for student records. We also utilize the Canvas-to-Populi grade sync feature. If we set up a Canvas course so that students can self-enroll, is there a way for their enrollment to automatically sync to the Populi…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I wonder if others have had this response, but I think it is troubling messaging for students that, no matter how well they may do on an assignment, they are given a signal that anything below a perfect score should be marked/denoted with a red color, as if those grades are poor, or even lesser. I think it is harmful for…
