Archiving or deleting classes

Top  Previous  Next

When children move out of a class , you will need to decide what to do with children's work that is in the class folder.

There are two options for this when archiving classes:

1) Archive the work and send to pupil folders:

Creates an archive folder that only staff can access which will contain all of the work
Puts a copy of the work into individual pupil's 'My Work' folders which they will be able to see.

2) Send to pupil folders:

Does not create an archive folder but does send the work to the individual pupil's 'My Work' folders which they will be able to see.

Archiving can be done in four ways in Purple Mash:

1) From the Online work by clicking on a class and clicking the archive button which appears at the top of the folder list:
