Using an Archive

Once you have archived your Blackboard course, you can reload that archive back into Blackboard at any time and reuse the material.  There are a few different ways in which you may want to use that archive:

• Use all or most of the material in the archive
• Use selected material in the archive 
• Copying one item into a class from an archive

To utilize any of the above options, you must open the archive.

In addition, when you use the material in your archive, you can either 

• put that material directly into a current class or 
• you can request a new class into which to put the material.

Putting the Material into a Current Class

If you put the material into a current class, your class structure may change somewhat.  You may have repetitive links on the navigational area, duplicate information, and other duplicate material.  For more information, read Open an Archive

Putting the Material into a New Class

If you put the material into a new class, you cannot access that material from another class.  You will have to copy the parts you want directly into the desired class.  For more information, read Opening Archived Material in a New Class.
