1 Migration checklist for WebCT users Moving from one system to another is not easy. We understand that quite a number of teachers rely on course migration to create course websites for new academic year based on the work they have done to their course website of previous year. We have therefore decided that we will help you migrate your course websites created under , and (Moodle and CUForum only) gradually to the new system so that you can still reuse old course materials when you build new course websites on the new CU elearning System (Blackboard Learn). To ensure your course website has been migrated successfully, we need your help to review your migrated course website in the new system. The content checking exercise is also a good start for those of you who want to get started learning about the new system (its user interface, features, etc.). Please spend some time to read this checklist before you proceed to check your migrated course. This migration checklist provides essential information for you to check your migrated course website and start planning your course website to be set up for the new academic year (especially for those of you who plan to reuse contents in your migrated course). This migration checklist is structured as follows to guide you through the process: A. The new course homepage in CU elearning System (Blackboard Learn) This section briefly introduces the course homepage of a course website migrated from WebCT to you. B. Feature comparison table This section briefly shows you how the features of the new system compare to those of WebCT. C. Reviewing your migrated course This section guides you through items which you have to pay attention to when you check your migrated course. D. Learn more about CU elearning System This section provides you information on the new system and arrangement on how course websites will be created on the new system according to information in CUSIS starting E. Updating your migrated course (Optional) This section is targeted for those of you who would like to build your new course websites based on your migrated course. It guides you through how to update your migrated course so that we can copy contents from it when we create the new course websites for you. Please contact us at or elearn@cuhk.edu.hk if you encounter any problems with your migrated course websites. elearning Team, ITSC, CUHK May 2012 Last updated on May 5, 2012 Page 1 of 7

2 A. The new course homepage in CU elearning System (Blackboard Learn) Once your course has been migrated to CU elearning System, you will see the course listed under My Courses after successful logon to the system through If you prefer to locate your course through Course Catalog on Courses tab, your migrated course is categorized under CUForum (Content Checking), Moodle (Content Checking) or WebCT (Content Checking). You can also try to search for your migrated course using the tool Course Search. Once you have located your migrated course, clicking on the course link will bring you into the course homepage. During course migration, the content converter only brought over the course contents but not the student activities. Thus, the content converter only re-assigned staff instructors of the original course to be the course instructors of the migrated course. Contact us if you need help to locate your migrated course. Most of the features in a WebCT course website are available in CU elearning System (Blackboard Learn). Pay attention to the following when you first enter your migrated course on CU elearning System: 1. The first page displayed in a migrated course is the Course Content area which contains all content and links from WebCT course homepage area. 2. Build/Teach/Student View in WebCT replaced with Edit On/Off 3. Syllabus file in WebCT moved under Information 4. All functions and customization settings can be accessed under Control Panel.

4 C. Reviewing your migrated course When you check your migrated course, we suggest you to open another browser to open your original course website on WebCT as well. This allows you to compare the two websites side by side. This is especially useful when you check the course content items one by one. Go through all items in the migrated course and check whether all content have been migrated successfully. Although it should be rare, if you are prompted with Fatal Errors when you enter your migrated course website, please report the case to us for our immediate follow-up. You are also welcome to contact us if you have any questions regarding your migrated course.

5 - Join the Blackboard Learn training workshops to learn how to use the new system and explore new features for possible course enhancements. - Quick reference and self-learning videos are available at With the implementation of the new system, all new course sites are created automatically before the beginning of each semester by importing course information from CUSIS into CU elearning System. This takes place approximately 1 week after course information is made available on CUSIS. For academic year , it is expected that course information will be available around July 2012 on CUSIS. New course sites will therefore be created according to CUSIS data and ready for teacher access around mid-july. For those of you who want to build your new course site from scratch, you can start working on your course sites around that time. However, if you would like to work on your course site earlier than that, you can request for a development sandbox (a.k.a. course template) that can be used as a course placeholder. Once you have finished setting up the course template, you can submit a copy course request to copy materials from the course template to your new semester course site when they are auto-created following the schedule. For those of you who plan to build your course site based on your migrated course, you can start updating your migrated course following Section E of this document and use your migrated course as the course template. Once you have finished setting up the course template, you can submit a copy course request to copy materials from the course template to your new semester course site when they are auto-created following the schedule. E. Updating your migrated course (Optional) Go through the following items to review and update your course if you plan to use it as the course template.
