The Module Rollover for 2018/19 has been completed, and modules will soon be ready to be released to instructors. All modules due to run in 2018/19 have been rolled over and new modules have been created.
Where are my modules?
Modules will be made available to Instructors at the start of next week. A manual load of staff and student enrolments will be processed on Monday 18th June at 8am. Staff enrolments added in Banner by this time will be processed on Monday, and regular data feeds should be in place shortly after.
After the feed, to see your 2018/19 modules, change the display of modules to Showing: Everything (you may have to scroll through the list/use the Search to find them). We will switch the default displayed year on the Modules tool to 2018/19 after resit examinations.
What’s new?
2018/19 modules feature a new menu item called ‘Reading Lists’. This is an enhancement to the current Reading Lists tool in Minerva which staff use to create reading lists for their modules.
For students, the new menu item will point them to any reading lists available for that module on the Library website. If there are none, students will see a message directing them to useful Library resources instead.
For staff, the menu item will present a list of all reading lists on their module (created with the Reading Lists tool) with options to edit and instructions to delete. If the module has no reading lists, there will be instructions on how to create one or an option to confirm that the module will not have a reading list.
The method for creating reading lists is unchanged. Full guidance will be available later in the Summer.
Rollover FAQs
Instructors should be aware that not all content types can be rolled forward and modules will need tweaks or rebuilding for the new semesters. Content items may need reordering and adaptive release rules will need to be checked, particularly if you have used dates.
Please refer to the VLE Service Rollover guide for guidance on next steps and a list of FAQs.
Please note:
Organisations aren’t rolled, organisation spaces for 17/18 need to be requested. Further information is available in the Rollover guide.
