LEO decommissioning

Learn how to prepare for the transition to Canvas as ACU’s primary learning management system (LMS) by early 2024. Teaching units from 2021 to 2023 in LEO will be archived.

To help ensure a smooth transition for all units to Canvas in the coming months, familiarise yourself with the important upcoming changes to LEO and the data currently stored within its system.

These changes include:

• LEO decommissioning
  Staff and students will be notified of the LEO decommissioning date in future communications once confirmed.
  
  
• Archiving teaching units
  Teaching units from 2021 to 2023 on LEO will be archived as per ACU’s Records Retention and Disposal Schedule, with some exceptions for accreditation requirements to keep earlier content (2019-2020) for longer.
  
  
• Non-teaching, information sites and staff sandboxes
  LEO sites unrelated to the delivery of a Banner unit will not be archived. It is important to note that this decision has been made to optimise resources and streamline ACU systems.
  
  
• Accessing archived content
  A dedicated process for accessing archived content is currently being established. This process will be confirmed in future communications.
  
  
• Downloading and backup of content
  Staff are encouraged to download and backup all LEO content they wish to keep. Platforms such as SharePoint or OneDrive are recommended for secure storage.
