End of Year Processes & Rollover

It is important that staff do not re-use the 12-13 modules for the 13-14 session - please do not edit 12-13 modules.

Key info

• SATURN Modules for the year 13-14 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 12-13 modules for the 13-14 session as 12-13 modules will be archived "as taught"

Transferring content

Schools have been given the option to request that all content is transferred from 12-13 modules into 13-14 modules as a starting point. For some Schools and module convenors (and for new modules), we understand that you will be starting from scratch OR brining your own content into the module.  If you have any questions please contact your local Moodle representative or learning-team-support@nottingham.ac.uk

FAQ

Q. When will I see my modules for 13-14?

The modules are being created now (July). As they  are created you will see the same ones as last year - oif these are not correct, you should contact the existing editing teacher of your new module to have yourself added (or if unavailable, your local Moodle representative or learning-team-support@nottingham.ac.uk)

Q. What will a new module have in it?

This depends on your or your School's preference. If we have been asked, we will transfer content from 12-13 modules to 13-14 modules. Otherwise the module will have just the theme and a few core blocks with instructions on how to transfer your content.

Q. My module isn't linked to SATURN - how do I get a new one?

In the Year End and Archive Block click the "+ New version" and complete the form on the next screen. This will put the new module into our queue and you should shortly find that it has appeared in your module list.

Q. How do I get the existing content into the module so I can start setting up for 13-14?

If we have been asked, we will transfer content from 12-13 modules to 13-14 modules. Otherwise there is a simple import process which will transfer any or all material that you specify.

 If you have any questions please contact your local Moodle representative or learning-team-support@nottingham.ac.uk

Q. I don't want to have to import my content - can't it be done automatically?

It is not possible to import content automatically - Moodle doesn't have this feature. However for a limited time in July the learning Team are able to do this for you.
