How to Export
(or Backup) Your Blackboard Course (HTML,
ITI Flash
Video)
Note: Use the export course feature to backup a course that is
to be used for a course in the future. All CSCC class shells are
deleted from Blackboard 6 weeks after the class is over. Be
sure, if you teach a course just once a year and you are using
Blackboard for that course, to export your course so that you will
be able to have all your content restored the following year.
Exporting a course does not
back up any student data - just content, assessment, assessment
pools, and etc. |
