Scaffold Archiving

Secure, compliant data preservation for higher education.

Scaffold Archiving secures and governs historical course and student data for retention, audits, and long-term access.

What is Scaffold Archiving

Archive everything. Lose nothing.

Scaffold Archiving by K16 Solutions allows administrators to archive course content or student data from various enterprise systems and access that data quickly and easily at any time — all at a fraction of the cost.

No more archiving on a pricey legacy platform or in cold storage where data remains difficult to access.

Customer voice

“The content and data can easily move from Scaffold Archiving back to Canvas. We don't have to download a cartridge and clean it up later on. Instead, we simply find the course, click a button, and it goes from Scaffold Archiving right over to Canvas. Our archive is now its own version of an LMS where we can easily move content to and from Canvas and Scaffold Archiving.”

Abram (Abe) Hedtke — Director of Instructional Technology, Saint Mary's University of Minnesota
