Archiving Courses
The Export / Archive Manager page organizes all export and archive packages that are created from the course. When the course is exported or archived, a link to the package appears on this page. The Export/Archive Managerl creates a .zip file that contains all course material AND all student interactions. The Instructor may download the package to a local computer, and then use it in the future for import or restore operations. Further, it is important to note that the packaged zip file should NOT be modified in any way and, "will result in unstable and unpredictable behavior when the course is imported." Archiving a course does not remove it from the Blackboard Learning System.
When a package is exported or archived, it does not appear on this page immediately. An email is sent to the user once the system has created the package; the user may then open this page to find the package and download it.
If a student has challenged a grade and the instructor needs to view the archived course, the contents must be placed in a Blackboard shell. Please contact the SU Blackboard Administrator, Shelley Gross-Gray to initiate this process.

Import Package
Instructors can use this feature to upload material "packaged" using the Export Course tool. The instructor can choose to import the entire course or selected parts of the course. It is important to note that the packaged zip file should NOT be modified in any way and, "will result in unstable and unpredictable behavior when the course is imported." (Blackboard Academic Suite Instructor Manual, pg. 219) Please read the Import Package PDF file below for more information.
