Last year, I used Posit Cloud to teach a summer introductory data science workshop to first-year college students. (It was so handy for so many reasons, particularly my ability to pre-install packages and data in template workspaces!) I subscribed to an Instructor account for the duration of the summer.
This year, I'm no longer teaching for the program, but I would like to download a copy of last year's workspace to share with this year's instructor, or share the workspace with them in another way. (Add them as a co-admin, say?) I'm only on the free tier now, so when I try to un-archive the workspace from my Account page I get a "space content limits exceeded" error and I can't un-archive it. Am I just stuck here, or is there a special way I can hand the workspace over without bumping up my membership just to get this workspace exported?
What if the other instructor upgrades and adds you to their class?
Just a suggestion - I don't know if this will work. I also use RStudio Cloud for teaching, but I haven't been in the situation of having to hand over a course to someone else.
Oh, that's not a bad idea! I know the other instructor has upgraded, as the program we taught/teach for has a small amount of teaching supplies funding for the RStudio/Posit Cloud subscription. I think if I'm on the Student plan temporarily, just long enough to un-archive the space and add the current instructor as a co-admin, it could work! I'll try that and report back.
Update, didn't work sadly! The new instructor did add me, but (sensibly) the instructor subscription only allows students to create projects etc within the instructor's course space. So it doesn't extend to other workspaces owned by the student.
Oh, that makes sense, yes.
Can the other instructor add you as a TA ("moderator")?
Otherwise: can you still get into the space, and then download the projects manually? Which is a bit of a PIA, but better than nothing?
I don't have any of my spaces archived, but for the ones that are current, I can indeed not copy the space (I am currently also on the free plan) - but I can still open the space and download projects / assignments.
