Tip |
Return again to the Welcome Page (main page of your course).
Now you are going to scroll down and click on any PDF (
), Spreadsheets (
), Documents (
), Presentations (
) and any other files you might see as you scroll down. These files will go into the downloads directory. Move each of these files into the new folder your created for your course.

Tip You do NOT need to download the Unit Notes as they were already downloaded during the course compile. |
Once that is done, scroll back to the top of the page and click on Assignments on the right hand side of the page under Activities
Click on each assignment that shows you "submitted for grading"
On the assignment page, select the document you submitted to download it. Move it into your course folder.

Tip We suggest you rename the file by adding "Assignment #" to the beginning of the file name, where # is the actual assignment number. Otherwise the assignment might not stand out in the all the files you downloaded already for this course. |
Lower down on the same assignment page, click on the Feedback document from the instructor. Move it into your course folder.

...
Tip We suggest you rename the file by adding "Assignment Feedback #" to the beginning of the file name, where # is the actual assignment number. This will ensure that the assignment feedback is next to the original assignment. Otherwise it will get lost in with the other documents and since the instructor usually renames the document, it might not be close at all. |
Return again to the Welcome Page (main page of your course)
Time to save your Zoom recordings. Zoom recordings are usually stored for a certain period of time (e.g., 120 days). If the recordings are still available you'll likely find them in each course's Zoom activity or your instructor may have manually shared them with you.

...
Privacy is always of the utmost concern! Please be cautious when downloading these files. In some courses, the recordings might include some personal information that some would not want to be shared publicly. Be respectful of others and do not post this information in a public location without the express written consent of all participants included those that may not verbally say something but might have written something in the recordings chat window. If you are unsure, then err on the side of caution and do not post at all. |
Scroll down and click on the link Readings for the Course

Please note Library access is removed 30 days after the end date of your final course. So if 30 days has already passed, you may have already lost access to the library resources. Please see this article for additional information. |
This can be quite tedious, but you will not have access to these documents once your account is closed. Click on each link to a document that you found interesting and if possible you want to save the document as a PDF. Note that some documents might not allow you to download and save. That will be due to copyright restrictions and there is nothing RRU can do to change that.
| Info |

...
Tip Please note that some documents save the file name as a generic number or nondescript name (Proquest, Sage, Ebscohost). We recommend that you rename those documents properly. This will save some frustration later on. |
Final step and THE most tedious - You must download the forum posts you want to keep. On the right hand side of the course page, under activities, click Forums
You will need to go through each forum to find nugget of truth you want keep.

Tip We suggest opening a Word document and when you come across a quote or thoughtful comment, copy it from the forum and paste it into your Word document. Save the Word document as "Forum Comments" and save it in the course folder you created |

...
Tip You might feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of comments or forums. Another thing you can try is to look at your own posts, and it might trigger your memory and help you find the comments you want to keep. You can find a list of your posts by clicking on your name in the top right of Moodle and selecting Profile. Now click on Forum Posts. Please note that these are ALL your forum posts for ALL your courses. When you find something that interests you, click on the Subject in the breadcrumbs to bring you directly to the forum. |
