The Recycle Course page is a useful tool for Administrators to use when a course ends and will be taught again to another group of Students. The Recycle Course page allows Administrators to select information to be deleted from a course.
Example: Click in the box next to Gradebook and all the names of Students and their grades will be deleted from the course Web site. The Instructor will have a clean Gradebook to start the new semester.
The Course Recycler will remove all users with a role of Student from the course. Teaching Assistants, Graders, and Course Builders will not be removed.
