Tegrity and Blackboard Archive Policies

Archive Laptop

The Center for eLearning is rapidly approaching the limit of our purchased recording hours with Tegrity. We’re asking our Tegrity users to help by deleting their old recordings that are no longer needed. Beginning this Spring semester, we will start archiving recordings made in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and removing them from the system.

If you need access to any recordings that have been archived, please contact the Center for eLearning at 216.687.3960 or email elearning@csuohio.edu.

If you would like to archive your own copies, follow the links below:

Also, as a reminder, course shells in Blackboard that are one year old will be rolled off the server after each Spring semester. For example, after this current Spring 15 semester, courses from Spring 14 and prior will be rolled off the server and archived.

If you need to access an archived course, please complete the Course Restore Request form. If you would like to create your own archive, see the instructions on how to archive a course in Blackboard.
