Upgrading a Course

This chapter describes how to upgrade courses created using LearningSpace Release 2.0.

Upgrading a Release 2.0 course

These are the steps you must perform to upgrade a Release 2.0 course to Release 2.5:

Shut down and restart the Domino server.

Install the new versions of the LearningSpace files on the server.

Replace the design of your existing Central.

Replace the design of the Multimedia Library

Run the automatic upgrade process from within the new version of Central.

Tell students who were using a local replica of the old course that they should create a new local replica.

Instruct students to recover their documents marked Private to Myself from the pre-upgrade version of the course.

Important When you perform the procedures in this section, make sure there are no users accessing the course you are upgrading. It is not recommended that you upgrade an active course. It is best to upgrade after a course is completed.

Note You need Manager access to the existing LearningSpace course and must be in the LearningSpace Admin group in your server Name & Address book to perform these steps.

Shut down and restart the Domino server

Before beginning the upgrade process, shut down the Domino server and restart it. Perform this step from the server, not from a workstation.

1.At the server console, type exit and press ENTER. The server will shut down.

2.Double-click the Domino icon to restart the server.
