Copy files from old Tlearn to new Tlearn

Q.

How do I bring over my files from the old Tlearn to the new Tlearn? I want to keep my files in the My Private Files repository, how?

A. 

Because of the upgrade from Moodle 1.9 to Moodle 2.4 we are unable to backup and restore courses into the new Tlearn. Upon request we are manually transferring files from the old Tlearn to the new Tlearn. If you would like to copy your course files on your own follow these steps.

Create and Overwrite an Alias file

Q. 

How do I overwrite a file? If I update a file will all the other locations/courses that use this file be updated? How can I create an alias? If I make change on a posted document will my students see my changes?

A. 

TLEARN allows the user to overwrite files if they already exist in the system. The alterations made in a file can be reflected in one singe place or in many areas. If an alias is created, then the original file is updated, it will change in all instances of the alias.Take the following steps to add your file to your My private files, post it in your course as an alias, and overwrite the file to update changes made in the original file.

Download all teacher files

Q. 

How do I download all my course files? I want to keep a copy of all my files I've uploaded to TLEARN on my computer, how?

A.

This will be possible if you have been keeping all your files in your My private files. If you have been dragging and dropping files and not using the traditional upload process then they will be in the Servers files. We would then have to upload the Server files into our My private files for you to be able to download everything together. You will not be able to download all from Server files or any other file repository. Read more to learn how to download all teacher files from your My private files.
