CWPT-LMS DATA MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES |
The
RUN menu includes:
The purposes of the first 2 procedures are:
|
Data-Sharing
(You back up your classroom’s data to another location so somebody
else can access and add to their own database by restoring the data
to his/her own database. Similarly,
if you want somebody else’s data, have him/her back up the classroom’s
data to a location that you can access, so you can restore it to
your own database) |
|
Security (You may want to back up your data for safekeeping in case you have a need to restore it if your system goes down) |
The purpose of the 3rd procedure is to remove any
unwanted classroom, e.g. test data, from your real database of classrooms.
All 3 procedures ensure that files or folders associated with
the classroom being processed are cleanly copied or deleted.
