Rollover 2019
SUNLearn 2022 Module Rollover
Author: Thys Murray
Published: 09/12/2021

Update 15-12-2021

Dear SUNLearn facilitators

Content from all registered courses has now been transferred to their respective 2022 module spaces and all staff members have been enrolled to the 2022 versions of their current 2021 modules.

Please note the following:

  • As previously mentioned, only the content of registered courses was transferred. Please request the rollover of non-standard or combined (MT) modules directly from the Learning Technologies helpdesk.
  • All 2022 modules are set to be available from 1 January to 31 December 2021. This means that until next year the 2022 modules will be listed in the Future category of your Dashboard after which it will be moved to your In progress category.
  • To improve the rollover process, all 2022 courses were set to the default Edwiser theme. You can still change your layout to which ever format you prefer by going into the module's settings and choosing the layout of your choice under Course format.
  • If you are not planning on using 2021 content for 2022, you can delete the content an item or topic at a time.
  • All 2022 modules are currently hidden from students, but we will make it visible closer to the start of classes (Health Sciences' modules will be visible for the start of their classes).

Kind regards

Dear SUNLearn facilitators (9-12-2021)

It is that time of the year again to bring 2021 to completion and to start with the rollover process to activate modules for 2022. As before, all registered 2022 modules will be created on SUNLearn automatically without being requested. Students are then automatically enrolled to these modules during registration and lecturers can decide whether they want to make use of the module space or not.

Regarding the content:

  • All content (except Turnitin links) of all registered 2021 modules will be carried over to their respective 2022 module. All these modules are hidden from students until the start of classes (Health Sciences' modules will be made visible earlier for when their students start). In case content should remain hidden after the start of classes (e.g. in the case of second semester modules), it can be hidden either by item or by topic / section.
  • All staff will be enrolled for 2022 modules as they were enrolled for 2021 modules.

By approaching the process in this manner, we aim to complete the whole process in the shortest time possible.

  • We are aware that not all facilitators want the previous year's content carried over, in this case unwanted content will have to be removed after the fact, be it per item or per topic / section.
  • If other modules' content is required, e.g. 2020 content, instead of 2021, contact the Learning Technologies helpdesk.
  • If any facilitators are to be added or removed, contact the Learning Technologies helpdesk.
  • If a module's code has changed, we will be unable to transfer the 2021 content to the new 2022 code. Please contact the Learning Technologies helpdesk to inform us of any code changes.
  • We will not be rolling over non-registered modules (modules not appearing in the yearbook). Please request the rollover of these modules after the rollover process is complete by contacting the Learning Technologies helpdesk.

The process will now run as follows:

  1. We are currently busy transferring all content from 2021 to 2022.
  2. As soon as this is finished we will enroll all 2021 facilitators to the respective 2022 modules.

Each step in this process will be made known on the SUNLearn Dashboard.

Kind regards
