Blueprint Help

[leavoj]

Hello,

I have a Blueprint Course that is linked to cohorts running at different times and ending at different times.    IE Cohorts - 0424; 0524; 1024; 0125

The Blueprint works great at keeping all 4 cohorts upto date. 

BUT now that some cohorts are done - how do I stop the "ended cohorts" from being updated.  

• Before blueprint - I would just do an end date to close the course - incase we needed it for accreditation, boards or student records. 
• We want all the data and submissions to be retained with the "versions" that cohort ended with.
• We do not want the gradebook to change.  

1. Should I go to settings --> participation --> end date?
2. Should I go to settings --> course status --> conclude this course?   
   1. Is there a way to "undo" conclude if needed for any strange reason?
3. Should I go to the blueprint --> associated --> click the "x" (remove association?
   1. Does this ruin any settings or does it just "cut off updates" from that point foward?
4. Any other option?

I am just confused by the options I should use and the differences.  Thanks

You can simply remove the association. This won't change any settings, except that any locked content from the BluePrint will now be editable.
