Archiving a classroom - Teacher instructions
Follow these steps to deactivate and archive your classroom, as well as download classwork to your hard drive.
If you're not sure what classroom archiving is, check out our short FAQs.
1. Go to the Settings tab of your account.
Go to your account's Settings tab and scroll to the bottom of the page. Under the Archive Class section, click the Archive Classroom button to start archiving your class.
(If you have more than one classroom, first scroll to the Classroom Settings section and then click on 'view classroom' beside the class you'd like to archive.)
2. Confirm that you'd like to archive your classroom.
You'll now be prompted to confirm that you'd like to archive the classroom. If you're sure, click 'Yes, Archive It'.
And that's it - your class is now archived! Read on to learn how to view archived classrooms and how to download classwork onto your computer.
Please note that after archiving a class, your students can no longer log into their accounts, although they can still download their work. Please see here for information about how students can download their work.
How do I view an archived classroom?
To view an archived classroom, go back to the Settings tab and scroll down to the Archived Classrooms section. Then click 'view classroom' beside the appropriate class. You'll now be able to view all of this class's activity, but you won't be able to assign anything new and your students won't be able to log into their account.
How do I download classwork from an archived classroom onto my computer?
Whenever you archive a classroom, we automatically create a folder containing image files of all of your students' comics and characters, and text files of your activities. To download this folder onto your computer, first go to your archived classroom by following the previous step.
You should now be at the Overview page of your classroom. Click on the zip file link, as pictured above. Your web browser will now prompt you to open or save the file - choose to save. You'll now either be prompted to pick a location to save the file or else it will automatically save in the location that you normally download files. You're done!
(If you've just archived your classroom, you might see a note asking you to check back in a few minutes while we create the file for you to download. If you still don't see your file after 30 minutes, please contact us at support@bitstripsforschools.com.)
