Archiving Course Sites


It is highly recommended that you archive your course site(s) onto a CD at the end of each semester. Archiving a course will not remove it from Blackboard; however, courses are kept on the server for a period of one year at which time an administrator removes them from the system. An archived file is only viewable within the Blackboard platform or other IMS-compatible course management system.
To have an archived file uploaded onto Blackboard, contact blackboard@depauw.edu.
