What are best practices regarding archiving completed Brightspace courses?

Madeleine.R.512

Currently my institution's are made unavailable 2 weeks after the last day of the term, but instructors still have access to their courses indefinitely. Instructors have the capability to make courses available to students again at any given time, so in turn we run into issues. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions on this?

Hello @Madeleine Renken​ Regarding removing access for users/or any roles from Past courses can be done by using Roles>Settings.

Unless user/role have permission to Access past courses or Access inactive courses, they will not see courses that have been closed(End-Date) or have been Inactive.

 

Regarding Archiving or dropping courses, I can see PIE request as well : https://desire2learn.brightidea.com/ideas/D4320

Hello Mandeleine , If you go to admin tools>roles and permissions>Click on one role drop-down>Edit settings(not permissions), you will see three options under "Course Access Options"You can decide according to each role which setting should be checked.

Thanks

Thank you very much, Priyanka. If you don't mind, which specific permission(s) out of the list grants them access to past courses?

 

Many thanks,
