Key info

• SATURN Modules for the new academic year 14-15 are being created automatically from SATURN. (If you were an editing teacher last year you will be automatically added this year)
• You will have the ability to request a new module (if it's not a SATURN module) - by clicking a button - it will then be created automatically and available to you within about a day
• Look out for the Year End & Archive block in the left-hand column
• It is important that staff do not re-use or edit the 13-14 modules existing modules "to prepare" for the new academic session as last year's modules will be archived "as taught"

...

Each autumn  the modules will be recategorised as Archive and become "Read-only". You will still be able to import content form the 12-13 module old modules but not be able to make changes.

Q. Can I edit 12-13 the old modules?

 You can edit 12-13 modules but we ask that you make minimal changes. The 12-13 In order to preserve the integrity of the archive, modules are not editable once they have been moved into the archive. As the academic year comes to a close the module is intended to be left "as taught" for students to refer to.  Please make any changes for the new year once you have transferred the content into the new 13-14 the NEW version of the module.

Some lecturers may wish to hide or restrict by date some answer sheets etc. to be unavailable in the archive. Do not delete these as they should be left intact, even if hidden from students, for audit purposes.

...

Moodle has no facility to increment dates such as resource restriction dates or deadlines. You will need to reset dates in the new module.

 Q. What about content that students have contributed to my module? Databases, glossaries, wikis?
