It is time again for the normal clean-up of Blackboard. As you may have already noticed, Summer 2009 (SU09) course areas in Blackboard have been identified and marked for removal on July 30th. Although the VCCS does maintain an archive of your courses, it is recommended that you maintain a copy of your course by exporting out the course content. All archived courses will be available through the VCCS for about 1 year after they are removed from Blackboard. You should also download a copy of your grade center from Blackboard for each course as back-up as well, if you have not done so already. (Downloading and Uploading from the Grade Center--Video Tutorial)
If you have taught online, login to your "MySVCC" page and click on "Blackboard" to see which courses you are enrolled in as an instructor. From your SVCC tab or Teach tab, you will need to click on the circular icon (looks similar to a gear) found on the upper right corner of your "My Blackboard Courses" module. This will allow you to see all courses that you have taught that are currently in Blackboard, even if you have chosen to not have them displayed in your "My Blackboard Courses" module. The criteria for removal at this stage is:
1. Course ID's ending in "SU09"
2. Or created before May 1, 2009
You should export content from any courses planned for removal and save the zipped files on your computer for future use.
