It is time for some housekeeping in Blackboard. As you may have already noticed, Fall 2012 course areas in Blackboard have been identified and marked for removal on December 5th. Although the VCCS does maintain an archive of your courses, it is recommended that you maintain a copy of your course by exporting the course content.
All archived courses will be available through the VCCS for about 2
years 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 mouse-over the "My Blackboard Courses" module and click on the
circular icon (looks similar to a gear) found on the upper right
corner of that area. 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 display on your tab. The criteria for removal at this stage is:
1. Course ID's ending in "FA12"
2. OR created before August 1, 2012
You should export content from any courses planned for removal AND save the zipped files on your computer for future use. (These file are not stored in Blackboard.)
Click
on the link below and scroll down to the section called "Course
Management and Navigation". From there you will find instructions on
exporting course content. You can either view the instructions or
download to save or print.
