Preparing for the next semester

Even though I use a master shell some settings don't copy over to the new shell. So after I copy the master shell to the new shell I have to go Manage Course then to Settings to change a few things.

Chat: Allow Students to view chat logs -- change to True.

I use chat and sometimes students chat without me.  It is nice for them to go back and see the logs.

Discussions: Enable the My-Posts view so students (and I) can see all the posts we make.

Grade book: Display unenrolled members in Grade Book -- set to false so I don't see those who registered or dropped the class.

Mail: -- set to true. I don't forward my mail but I know students who like to be able to do this.

--  I add a few 9s here so no one has trouble sending an attachment.

Enable My Computer Applet:  -- I change this to 20.  This number is how many files you can upload at one time.

My WebCT: here I decide what news icons will display on the My WebCT page.


Any postings in Discussions will not copy over, so I keep the shell from the previous semester handy so I can reuse some of the postings.

Thoughts?
