v2*Vault Shut Down May 31, 2019

Dear Colleagues,

The v2*Vault (formerly Classes*v2) will shut down in two days. If you want to keep content from prior courses, please refer to the Course Archive tool below.

Faculty, staff and students who had access to courses taught in Classes*v2 will have access to the v2*Vault until end of day Friday, May 31, 2019. To access your sites, log on to the v2*Vault with your Yale NetID and password and click the “My Active Sites” button at the top of the page to access your full list of course sites.

Please remember that during the summer of 2017, many of the teaching materials from your past courses were transferred to Canvas – however, you may still want to download a local copy for your own records before the v2*Vault is shut down. To assist you with this process, we have installed a tool into each of your course sites called the “Course Archiver Tool”.

The Course Archiver Tool allows you to select the type of content you want to keep from your course and then generates a downloadable ZIP file. Your ZIP file can include any of your faculty contributed content (i.e. Announcements, Files, etc…) as well as a copy of your class roster (with photos!) and your course gradebook** (useful when you are asked to write recommendations).

** NOTE: This is the gradebook that was included in Classes*v2 and not the official Faculty Grading System grades.

Please refer to our v2*Vault Instructor Guide to find out more about the v2*Vault and the Course Archiver Tool. If you have any questions at all, please email us at canvas@yale.edu.

Thank you,

The Educational Technology Team & Canvas @ Yale Support Team
