Speaker 1: Hello everyone, my name is Romeo and welcome to the EdTech Explorer. In this time of pandemic, online classes has been one of the main methods in reaching out to and teaching our students. And one of the tools highly utilized in online classes is the Learning Management System or LMS. LMS is an online platform where teachers can upload learning materials, give assessments, and track students' performance. One of the popular learning management systems available is MUDEL. MUDEL stands for Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment. It was founded and developed by Martin Daugayamas in 2002. MUDEL was designed to provide educators, administrators, and learners with an open, robust, secure, and free platform to create and deliver personalized learning environments. This episode 1 of the special miniseries of the EdTech Explorer entitled Learning My E-Class for Teachers is designed for teachers of the Ateneo Sumang University or ADSU. ADSU is using MUDEL as their learning management system. For today's episode, I'll be teaching you how to backup and restore your files in MUDEL. So let's start. How to backup and restore your existing My E-Class course to another My E-Class course. First, login to your My E-Class account and open the courses that you wish to backup and the course that you wish to restore it to. For this example, I chose IT111 as the course I want to backup. And the course destination will be My E-Class Tutorial. To start the procedure, open the course you wish to backup, which is the IT111 for this example. Then click the Actions menu or the gear icon. And then select Backup. Then check all the necessary information you wish to backup. For this example, I will choose the default setting, but I will uncheck Include Enrolled Users because I only need the files that I used for this class. Scroll down and click Next. Double check the items you wish to backup. For this example, I will just use the default settings, then click Next. You may or may not rename the file name. Scroll down and click Perform Backup. You have successfully backup your course. Click Continue. You will be able to see all the backup files that were made. So on this page, after successfully backing up the files, you will land in this page where you can see all the backup files that you were able to make. And then choose the file that you wish to download. Next step is to download the backup file, which is this one here. The first one that has the date and the time that you backup the file. Just simply click Download so that you can save the backup file. Then just browse for the folder where you want it to be saved, and then click Save. And then you have successfully downloaded the file. To restore the file, first go to the course where you want to restore the files. For this demo, I will use my course called My E-Class Tutorial. Click the Actions menu or the gear icon and select Restore. From there, on this page, in the Import Backup File area, click Choose File, and browse the backup file that you downloaded from My E-Class. Select and open it, and then click Upload this file, then click Restore. Scroll down to check the settings, then click Continue. My E-Class will give us three options to restore these files. The first, Restore a new course. This will create a new My E-Class course. The second option is Restore into this course. This will restore the files in the current open course. And lastly, Restore into an existing course. This is similar to the second option, but you will still need to search the destination course. I recommend using the second option. This is easier for me because the destination course is already open. And then, when you use the second option, which is Restore into this course, it will ask you to either merge the backup course into this course, or delete the contents of this course, then restore. If the destination is still empty, it is best to use the second option, which is delete the contents of this course, and then restore. However, if the course destination is already a content, then the best to use is to merge the backup course into this course. But personally, I prefer the first choice, which is merge the backup course into this course. Because for me, it's easier and lesser risk of deleting existing important details in the destination course. And we can always update or edit the destination course after the procedure. So for this, please click merge the backup course into this course, and then click continue. Then scroll down to double check the files that will be restored. You can uncheck the files that you do not wish to be restored. For this example, I will use the default setting and click next. And then scroll down again to double check again the files that will be restored. And then again, you can uncheck the files that you do not wish to be restored. For this example, I will just use the default setting and click next. Scroll down again for final checking, and click perform restore, click perform restore. Then just click continue to continue. Then click continue. You can now do the necessary editing and updating of details in your MyEclash according to your need. Alright, so that's how you backup and restore files in MyEclash. This method is very useful when you're starting a new semester and you want to reuse learning materials or activities from another course.
