Classroom - Archiving Classes in Securly Classroom

Introduction: Archiving classes in Securly Classroom is a common concern for educators seeking to efficiently manage their digital classroom environment. This article provides comprehensive guidance on archiving classes and clarifies the relationship between archiving in the Learning Management System (LMS) and its impact on Securly Classroom.

Understanding Archiving: Archiving refers to moving inactive or completed classes out of the active roster. Archiving is typically performed in the LMS, where classes are initially created and managed. When a class is archived, it is no longer considered active and is not displayed in Securly Classroom.

The Connection Between Classroom and LMS: Securly Classroom is intrinsically linked to the data provided by the LMS. Any class that is active in the LMS will also be visible in Securly Classroom. Conversely, archiving a class in the LMS will result in its disappearance from Securly Classroom.

Steps to Archive a Class:

1. LMS Archiving: To ensure a class disappears from Securly Classroom, begin by archiving the class in your Learning Management System. The specific steps may vary depending on the LMS being used.

2. Data Retention: Understand that Securly Classroom retains class data for a period of 12 months. This means that even after archiving in the LMS, class data may remain accessible in Securly Classroom for this duration.

Creating a Seamless Experience: To create a seamless experience for teachers and students, it's recommended to consistently archive classes in the LMS. This practice ensures that the digital classroom environment accurately reflects the current state of classes.

Conclusion: Archiving classes is essential in managing your digital classroom environment effectively. By archiving classes in your Learning Management System, educators can ensure accurate visibility and maintain an organized learning experience.
