  3. There are two choices, backing up including enrolled users or backing up without enrolled users.

    1. If you are backing up the course to migrate to FREDLearn you will back up the course ** without enrolled users **

     Backing up with enrolled users will contain student information, this is a good choice for retaining student data. If the course backup only needs to contain the content, the backup can be created without enrolled users.

      1. To exclude student data, and only include course content, uncheck “Include enrolled users.”

      2. To include enrolled users, check the “Include enrolled users” option, second in the list of Backup Settings.

Info

Hints:

  • Save the backup file in a secure location, like your U drive. Information on using the U drive can be found here: Personal Data Storage
  • If you used the gradebook it may be helpful to back that up separately to make it easier to access.
