Annual Rollover Update

Just a quick update on the progress of the annual rollover, a day late, apologies for that.

Everything has gone very well, all 11/12 modules pulled through from SITS, staff rollover of enrolments has happened.  There appear to have been a small number of staff not having their enrolments copied across, but we have planned for that by giving lecturers a form to request new modules.

We are now creating any new custom course areas that get requested, so all is running smoothly.

Add to this the training of the Course Admin teams and we are well set for our handover of administrative processes, all in all, a well planned and implemented summer is well under way.

Ready for the Annual Rollover

The Wolsey Summer Plan is progressing well, we are on schedule to have everything completed for the deadline of Monday 1st August.

Tomorrow, Friday 29th will see us start the process of importing all new 2011/12 moules in to Wolsey, we will then run the final process of the staff enrolment rollover, automatically adding lecturers to their new modules.  We have some new challenges this year as we are losing the Content Collection later in the year, we are making this document store read-only from Monday, saving any new modules from being populated with Content Collection items.

We have so far managed to train half of the Course Admin Team, the others are booked in for 4th August, to allow us to complete the Wolsey Devolution of administrative tasks.  This training allows Course Admin Teams to manage the enrolments on the module that they administer.  This in turn allows them to dip in and out to add announcements rather than being enrolled on hundreds of modules.

We have also created new forms allowing easy management of staff enrolments on different modules, as well creating a new read-only view of the Custom Course database, allowing Course Admin teams to search the database for course IDs.

I will update more on Monday :-)
