IMPORTANT NOTICE
In our effort to balance faculty demands to keep only recent semesters’ courses on Blackboard and University policies on having course material and student submissions available for a certain period of time, we will continue our practice of each year deleting Blackboard courses dating back beyond a year and a semester.
On December 22, 2008, all Blackboard courses from the following semesters will be permanently removed from the system:
Intersession 2006
Spring 2006
Summer 2006
Fall 2006
Courses retained at December 22, 2008: Intersession 2007, Spring 2007, Summer 2007, Fall 2007, Intersession 2008, Spring 2008, Summer 2008, Fall 2008
MOST IMPORTANT: This course removal is an irreversible process and once deleted the courses from the specific semesters will not be accessible. Faculty are advised to backup and/or copy course material from the semesters designated for removal. Additionally, we now offer the option for faculty to upload the content from these courses on to their Virtual Hard Drives using Blackboard’s Content System. This will also enable faculty to post these items to designated courses.
The Faculty Development Center will be offering workshops on backing up and archiving courses in November. Please visit our website at http://fdcweb.fullerton.edu/workshops/default.cfm to view our online workshop schedule and register for a workshop.
Please be advised that old courses more than a year and a semester back will be removed each year. We will announce the deletion date well in advance.
