What little winter we had this year is drawing to a close and at the eLearning Services of Lapland University of Applied Sciences and the Lappia Education and Training Consortium we traditionally consider sweeping out the cobwebs.
In eLearning terms this refers to cleaning up the databases of our various learning environments and you, dear end user, can be of great help in this. All users of Moodle, iLinc and WordPress, should really go and check their user profile. In particular, Lapland UAS users should adapt their registered email address in those environments from @ramk.fi, @edu.ramk.fi, @lapinamk.fi and @edu.tokem.fi to @lapinamk.fi or @edu.lapinamk.fi respectively! The old addresses will become inactive in the near future and after that the administrators of the learning environments will commence removing old, inactive users, i.e. those with old obsolete email addresses. The pictures below show where you can edit your profile in iLinc, Moodle and WordPress. And, hey, wouldn’t this be a good time to add or update your profile picture in Moode and iLinc!
Apart from the user database, the administrators will also weed out abandoned courses in Moodle, unused blogs in WordPress and obsolete classrooms in iLinc. Do you have environments that you do not use anymore and that could be deleted? Let us know! Alternatively, if any of your blogs or courses have gone missing, inform us with as much information as you can remember (especially the exact name), so that we can try and track down your data and restore it to you before it is removed.
