Good housekeeping

Although it can be difficult to manage it is crucial to remove test accounts used by staff and associates in your VLE. I was reminded of this very recently when my main account was accidently suspended. Once I realised that I was locked out of my account and that I was out of hours for IT support I remembered that I had access to a test account that I used to mimic the student experience. This account was not suspended as it is not associated with my normal account. In this instance the test account had instructor rights (Blackboard) and I was able to continue as normal. This serves as a reminder that it is good practice to regularly remove temp accounts. Not only for security purposes but also to keep archives accurate and a tidy VLE house.
