Glow Groups, Migration

Glow Group Migration July 2013

We have now had confirmation that Aberdeenshire Glow Groups will migrate during the first 2 weeks of the summer holidays.

Education Scotland along with RM decided that the migration would happen in order of usage. We were pleased to find out that Aberdeenshire is the third highest user of Glow and therefore, will be third to migrate.

Once we see what happens when a Glow Groups migrates, then we will be in a position to create help guides for schools.

Please also be advised that the current Text Editor web part will not migrate to the new system.

Migration

Important Update on Glow+

Leave a comment

As part of the move to Glow+ (Microsoft Office 365) in December this year, we have already migrated Email.

 The next step involves the migration of the existing Glow Groups to the new Glow ( Microsoft Office 365 )

 We were advised last week by Education Scotland and RM that Local Authority sites are to be migrated in order based on usage and content.  We were told we are placed third in that list and the migration will begin on or just after the 6th July.

 From that date, and for the entire summer holidays, Glow will be accessible but will be ‘Read Only’ ie you will be able to access any document, but you will not be able to add new or amend any existing documents

 Blogs remain unaffected.

 We will be working over the summer holidays to have the necessary support material including CPD resources ready.

 If you currently use Glow for daily bulletins, or other daily information delivery then you will have an alternative in place for at least the first few days.
