myLesley Course Lifecycle Policy

Dear Lesley Faculty and Staff,  We are writing to share some important changes. Lesley University is implementing a course lifecycle policy to better serve the needs of the Lesley Community. In order to improve the user experience for faculty and students, adhere to Copyright laws without adding an administrative burden to our faculty, and keep our system functioning optimally, all courses with an ending date of more than two years will be removed from myLesley, effective Monday, May 27, 2013.  Since the inception of myLesley in 2003, courses that have ended have not been removed from the system while new courses continue to be added. This leads to an unmanageable list of courses for faculty, and at times students, in their “my Courses” tab. Institutionally, the performance of myLesley is affected by the size of our database, which is made up of all of the data in myLesley, including courses and their content. The size of the database also contributes to the amount of time that system upgrades take. This process had been discussed and vetted by many stakeholders (Faculty Assembly, University Council, President's Cabinet, Technology Council) and we are finally at the point of execution.  It is most common for schools to remove courses from the system at the end of eachsemester but Lesley is going to accommodate 2 years of courses.  Effective Monday, May 27, 2013, the myLesley daily update will no longer include courses that are more than 2 years (730 days) old.  This means that courses will be evaluated daily and if they ended more than 2 years ago they will no longer be included in myLesley.  For more information about myLesley please visit the Lesley Intranet page:https://intranet.lesley.edu/it/enterprise/mylesley/ For the short-term, if you have a course that ended more than 2 years ago with content you would like to reuse in a future course and/or content you would like to preserve, we encourage you to follow the directions listed below to create an archive file of the course content and/or to collect discussion forum threads.  For the long-term, we recommend that you get in the practice of archiving your course and/or collecting discussions at the end of each course to ensure you have the materials you need. Exporting courses (After exporting, the package should be saved on your computer) Collecting discussions For training or questions not answered in the links above, please contact eLIS at [email protected] or visit at http://www.lesleyelis.com/faculty/professional-development/. We aim to continuously enhance our services and are very excited to have this opportunity to better the myLesley experience here at Lesley University.  Students will receive a separate communication about this policy later this week. We appreciate your patience as we implement this process.  Thank you, -IT Management __________________________________________________________Don’t take the bait!  IT will never ask you for your username and password via email. Phishing e-mails attempt to deceive you into giving up private information in a responseto a message or by leading you to a fraudulent web site.  __________________________________________________________
