Can I save a copy of my course before it’s removed from Desire2Learn?

Yes, faculty who wish to save a “back-up” of their course content may use the Export/Import utility to save a compressed file (.zip) to their local computer or disk for storage. This file will contain a copy of the course as of the day of the export.

Note: The exported file will contain NO student data or grade book items (tests,assignments, etc.).

To save a record of the grades, they may be exported to a comma separated value (.csv) file via the “Grades” link in the Navigation bar that can be viewed using Microsoft Excel. While the official course grade resides in the Registrar’s office, exporting the grades maybe an effective tool for meeting requirements of state and federal legislation as it relatesto the keeping of student records.
