HCC Teaching & Learning Resources (TLR) HCC Basic Eagle Online 2.x Faculty Training Guide How to Restore A Course Restore a Course (Upload the Course zipped file into your Course Shell) The Restore function allows you to upload an existing backup of a course and place it an Eagle Online course shell. You can upload a course into either the PeopleSoft-­‐generated course shell assigned to you, or into your Eagle Online sandbox shell. If you need a sandbox course shell, you can request one through your college CIC. Part 1: Uploading Your Eagle Online Backup You should have already performed a backup of your Eagle Online Course. This will be the file you upload to the Eagle Online 2.x (EO2.x) course shell. If you have not created the backup file, come back to these instructions after doing so. A. Enter an EO2.x course shell. This may be the course you wish to restore into or another course. Later on you will be able to decide which shell the backup will restore into. The most common way to do this is to enter the course you wish to restore. B. Click on the Restore link, which can be found on the Settings block. You will now see the Import a backup file screen. A. Either click on the Choose a file… button and find the backup file or simply Drag your backup file into the area indicated. The maximum size for a file is 500 MB. If your backup file is larger than this, you must reduce its size by removing files not currently used or that are very large (such as video clips). B.

Files are moved into the Server Files area. This area is accessible across the system and is usually used for Model Courses that share content between different colleges or disciplines. These files are accessible by anyone throughout the system. If this is an issue, all files will have to be manually moved to the My Private Files (an area accessible only to the individual user, but shareable across any courses associated with that user) and all links will have to be reestablished. 2. Some links may be broken and will need to be reestablished. The file or graphic will have to be found and reestablished manually. ALT-­‐TEXT should still be correct and will not need to be reformatted. 3. Graphics in the Book tool will be broken and will need to be reestablished. The graphic will have to be found and reestablished manually. ALT-­‐TEXT should still be correct and will not need to be reformatted. 4. It is recommended that all components of a course, including links, files, quizzes, assignments, Books, and other tools be thoroughly checked for any issues. 03/2013 4
