The export course feature creates a ZIP file of the course content that you can import to create a new course or share content some Blackboard-specific course resources with other instructors. When to use: Export a course when you want to reuse course materials at a later time to teach a new set of students. For example, you have an exported course from 2 years ago and no longer have access to the course shell or system where the original course was hosted. Another example is sharing the exported course with others, but you do not want to add those users to your course as instructors. Assignments and assessments may need to be redeployed and configured with each time. Note: An Archive contains course content and student data. It can only be restored by a Blackboard system administrator.
| You can copy courses and use them as a convenient way to reuse and adapt existing course structures, materials, and content. Or copy part of one course into another without overwriting any of the existing course's content. A course copy does not require you to download a file from one course or to upload the file to another course. When to use: Copy a course if you are creating a course that has many of the same features as an existing course (e.g., 2 courses use the same materials but have a different set of students). Assignments and assessments typically deploy as originally configured in the source course.
