As the end of year is fast heading our way, we want you to be aware of the importance of closing out (making inactive) your Pagoda courses/pages. Closing out is important as it will cut off student access and make classes ready for the next school year.
When closing out courses, you need to consider whether you will be wanting to make a fresh copy to work with next year, or you will just continue to use the existing course you have.
Choices choices ...
Existing Course:- think of it like a google doc - you edit it and the changes are permanent.
Create A Copy
- your old course is archived and can be referenced
- the copy has all your old content but you can change it and develop it as needed, knowing that all your old content is stored somewhere.
- Ensure you clearly name your course BEFORE creating the copy - eg. 6th Grade Humanities 2015_2016
- the downside to a copy is that you start to get very long lists of courses to browse through
