This new functionality allows you to control the behaviour of a class in Myplace when the academic year ends and a new one begins.
Access to this functionality can be found in the 'Quick Settings' block at the top left of each class.
There are 3 types of behaviour which can be set by using Class Rollover Action.
- An "Archive" class remains visible to staff and students on the current session but is is not available to staff and students on the next session.
Generally this will be used when a class is no longer continuing in it's current form but current students may need to access it in the future for reference. - A "Rollover" class is copied to the next session, remains visible to staff and students on the current session, content is reset for the next session and hidden to students on the next session.
The most common setting, this will remove all student information but leave the class content intact for the next year's enrolment of students. - A "Move" class is copied to the next session, is hidden to staff and students on the current session, and is visible to staff and students on the next session.
This setting allows for a course to run over 2 or more years with the same group of students, retaining all their information.
