ReggieNet-to-Canvas transition and your sabbatical
The following message was emailed to faculty members scheduled to be on sabbatical during the 2023 academic year on 05/10/2023
Dear Colleague,
I’m sure you’re looking forward to your sabbatical scheduled for part or all of the next academic year. We want to remind you that ReggieNet will be retired and inaccessible after November 30, 2023. So, before you transition from teaching to other pursuits, we strongly encourage you to take steps this summer to save any information you might need for your eventual return to the classroom.
Our staff at the Center for Integrated Professional Development would be happy to consult with you. You can email ProDev@ilstu.edu to request a consultation.
Here are a few points to consider:
- You can back up your data from ReggieNet yourself. The Center’s Canvas support page includes guides on how to download files from Resources, Assignments, and other tools, which you can then save to your ISU OneDrive account and use later.
- You can request to have an entire ReggieNet course automatically copied into Canvas. This process, called “migration,” is best suited for courses that use a lot of tools or include a lot of assessments. The old course will appear in Canvas with the prefix “Migration,” from which you can pull data to be used in a future, blank Canvas course.
- You can use this form to request the migration of a regular, for-credit course (i.e., anything with a catalogue number). The deadline to submit a request is Monday, July 24, 2023.
- If you have a non-credit, ongoing or project site in ReggieNet you’d like to have transferred to Canvas, please consult the guide to Special Use Sites.
- The last day you will be able to access ReggieNet is Thursday, November 30, 2023. After that, ReggieNet will be decommissioned. It will not be possible to retrieve any data from ReggieNet after that time.
Check out this recording of our recent webinar with faculty members who participated in the spring pilot program for additional information about the ReggieNet-to-Canvas transition.
We look forward to working with you to ensure your teaching resources in ReggieNet are preserved through this important transition. Please don’t hesitate to contact the Center for assistance.
Best wishes,
