Academic Course Migration
Academic Course Migration: All academic courses starting after May 1, 2024 are required to run in OWL Brightspace (except Western Continuing Studies).
Data in OWL Sakai
Historical course content and student data (including grades, forum posts, and assignments) will not be migrated into OWL Brightspace for the purpose of retention. Content hosted in OWL Sakai will be retained until at least the end of 2025 and can continue to be accessed until that time.
Academic Content Data Retention Policy
By the end of 2025, a retention policy will be in place for OWL Brightspace and a plan for remaining academic content in OWL Sakai will be addressed. Consultations are taking place in early 2025 and more information will be shared thereafter.
Please note that even courses and data that are migrated or created in OWL Brightspace will not be retained forever once a data retention policy is in place.
Please be aware that Western has a Data Classification and Handling Standard regarding the use and sharing of data, including student data.
