On April 17, IT will perform a cleanup of all Blackboard courses older
than two years as part of Missouri S&T’s two year Blackboard course
retention policy. After April 17, any course content, enrollment, and
entire courses themselves which are older than two years, will be
purged from Blackboard and will not be recoverable.
If you wish
to retain content in any of these courses, it is important that you
archive, export, or copy off any content you wish to retain for these
courses prior to the remove date.If you require assistance with
archiving or copying off any of the course information, please contact
the Educational Technology team at 341-4131 or edtech@mst.edu.
You
should receive several email reminders during March, listing your
specific courses that are set to expire. If you are one of multiple
instructors for any of these courses, please coordinate efforts with
other instructors in the course to ensure any data which needs to be
retained is archived or copied by April 17.
If you have any questions about this issue, please contact the IT Help Desk at 573-341-HELP (4357).
