Yes, at the beginning of a new semester you will need to create new instances for your classes. If you set up instances outside of Canvas, you will need to download scores from the repository so scores from the current semester will not be co-mingled with scores from the previous semester.

To prepare modules each semester, you may consider using the following steps:

• Download existing module scores (if not using Canvas) that you might need and save on your computer. (If you have not already done so, we suggest downloading scores from your instances and maintaining them with your student records.)
• Make new instances — start on this page to make new instances http://infolit.ucf.edu/faculty/getting-started
• Update any student handouts, emails or other  information that include URLs that link to old instances from previous classes
• Delete old instances — this helps to de-clutter your “My Instances” area in the repository
• Provide the link to log in information when you provide the new instance URLs to students. Detailed information for students about logging in to the modules can be found on this page http://infolit.ucf.edu/students/help
• Provide tech support links to students when you provide new instance URLs. Tech support for students (and faculty) is available through the Ask A Librarian service at http://infolit.ucf.edu/students/help (If you choose to help students yourself, you might also find the faculty FAQs useful in addressing student questions http://infolit.ucf.edu/faculty/faq
