Archiving of Pages from 2022-23

To simplify access to modules from the past academic year, pages from 2021-22 have archived within the current Moodle site. This will make for easier reference to last year’s courses for both academic staff and for students and, further, will remove the need to sign into a separate archive site as in previous years.
You can see that this archiving has been completed by checking the navigation ‘breadcrumbs’ for any of your past year courses. In the following example, the course has been placed in the Education Archive for 2021-22 (2122):

Accessing course pages from the 2021-22 Academic Year
To avoid causing confusion when the new academic year starts, all archived courses will move from being ‘In Progress’ to being ‘Past’ courses. What this means is that from Sunday 28 August 2022, courses for the 2021-22 academic year will be considered to be past and completed and will not appear on the Moodle Dashboard by default.
Access will still be simple as, on the Moodle Dashboard, the filter button (indicated below) can be used to move between ‘In Progress’ or current modules, ‘Past’ and ‘Future’ course pages. This will help to reduce clutter for you and for your students.

To protect the integrity of the course records, archived courses will become Read-only. This is to ensure that no inadvertent changes are made and that students cannot submit assignments by accident.
Academic staff can continue to access and download materials on pages when required.
