Archive Course creates a permanent record of a course including all the content and user interactions.
Archived courses are saved as .zip files. Archiving a course does not remove it from the system.
Follow these steps to open the Archive Course page.
Click Archive Course from the Control Panel.
Click Archive from the Action Bar of the Export / Archive Manager page.
Select Submit to archive the course contents and save it for future use.
After the Archive Course page is submitted the system creates the course package. When the package is complete, the Instructor who initiated the operation receives an email. After the email is received, the Instructors may open the Export / Archive Manager page in the Blackboard application and download the course package to the local computer.
