AsULearn is a customized version of the well-known open-source Learning Management System called Moodle.
In summer 2018, AsULearn underwent an architecture shift which increased the number of years' worth of past courses faculty would have access to, while keeping them organized in a way that would make a particular course easier to find. To accomplish this, each academic year past, present and future (grouped Fall-Summer II) of AsULearn has its own "instance," or site, as does the now-well-known "Projects" instance, which holds committee sites, development sites, and anything non-Banner-driven and/or without necessarily an end date .
In the past, faculty were able to easily use the "Import" feature to bring content from past courses into current or future courses. Import still works from one course to another within the same instance.
If you would like to move content from one course to another over different instances, you will use a "Backup/Restore" process instead of Import, which takes a bit longer.
The upside of this shift is that faculty now have access to courses from more years in the past than previously, and it is organized in easier-to-find ways.
In summer 2019, AsULearn was updated to a newer version of Moodle that organizes the main landing page for AsULearn differently, but in ways that better match the usability needs of users. The top block is for "Recently Accessed" sites. The middle block, called "Course Overview," contains the courses of your current academic year. The bottom block, called "My AsULearn sites," contains access to all other instances, including your Projects, your past years, and the upcoming year.
