Bb Users,
It is time to start the annual archival/removal of old courses from Blackboard.
Every year we archive and remove old courses. This time we will be removing the 2007-2008 (Fall 2007 – Summer 2008) courses from the Blackboard system (ending with 080, 081, 082, 083, 084). Courses from the 2008-2009 (090-094) school year will be made unavailable to students, but will still be accessible to faculty for another year. You can find your old courses in Blackboard by going to the Courses tab.
I will begin disabling these courses so that they can be archived and removed on Monday, November 22.
Attached is a document that explains how to archive and save your courses to your computer or disk if you would like to maintain your own archive. (We maintain an archive at the
QUESTIONS:
- WHAT IS ARCHIVING?
Archiving means we take your entire course and save it to a disk. Then we remove it from the Blackboard system. If we ever need to restore the course, we can, but it may take a while for me to dig it out of the archive since we maintain over 100,000 courses. - CAN YOU ARCHIVE AND SAVE YOUR OWN COURSE?
Yes, you can! Attached is a document that explains how to archive your course and how to download a great tool that will make navigating archived courses easier. You can also access these instructions through the Support tab in Blackboard.
If you need any more information, please let me know or open a ticket: Blackboard Help Desk.
Best wishes for a smooth end-of-the-semester/year,
Jennifer
