This form is for the use of Spoon River College Faculty only. To copy or move content from the existing courses to the current semester.
Note: this step is only relevant if you have a previous course(s) on the Blackboard system.
Option #1 - Copy and Recycle - Copy and empty the Blackboard Course for use next semester. If the instructor chooses to copy and recycle, the new course will be created with the same name but new start date. If this copy is to be used for a different course or section, please let us know so it can be named appropriately. This option:
- Creates a new copy of the course - both courses will be on the server and available to the instructor.
- Can be done before current semester is concluded.
- Retains a copy, with full contents, of the current Blackboard course
- Requires the Instructor to renew any course cartridge previously installed.
- Enables a student to finish an incomplete because the Blackboard course remains open.
- Allows the instructor to begin redesigning the Blackboard course for the next semester while still using the older format for the present semester.
- Permits the instructor to use a copy of this BB course for another section of this same course (online and web-assisted) this semester.
Option #2 - Recycle - Empty the current Blackboard course. This option:
- Does not retain the original copy of the course
- Can only be performed after the instructor is completely through with the Blackboard course.
- Will not retain a copy of the full contents of the Blackboard course
- Requires the Instructor to renew any course cartridge previously installed.
- Is best suited for instructors who wish to use the same Blackboard course next semester and do not need to keep a copy.
Please check the component(s) you wish to be deleted from the content of your Blackboard Course.
