The prowess of these three crackers also underscores the need for end users to come up with better password hygiene. Many Fortune 500 companies tightly control the types of passwords employees are allowed to use to access e-mail and company networks, and they go a long way to dampen crackers’ success.

Question:I have a question about expiration policy of D2L courses, and how to save the courses.
Do you archive the courses before they disappear on D2L? And is it possible to restore them after on demand? |

Answer:
D2L administrators and the D2L listserv announces the purge of D2L courses usually early August, before the start of the academic year. D2L administrators do NOT back up D2L courses, since this requires a lot of space, so faculty are responsible for their backup.
IMS faculty (http://lrts.stcloudstate.edu/library/general/ims/default.asp) have been offering regular information and sessions on D2L backup.
Here is a link to a handout with snapshots how to back up your D2L course

If more assistance needed, pls look up for scheduled sessions:
