Service Description
Course content and student data from Blackboard Learn have been retained based on state and SUNY Record Retention Policy. Requests can be made to restore course content OR student data from a past Blackboard Learn course.
Standard Features
Course Restored:
- Courses can be restored and requested by the faculty member who was the official instructor of record. Restoring a course uploads the archive package of course content into Brightspace. While all course data will be within the restored archive, course organization and layout should be adjusted using Brightpspace functionality.
Student Data:
- Student data from Blackboard Learn cannot be restored in Brightspace. Student grades, papers, and assignment submissions can be requested by the students or by the faculty member who was the instructor of record of the course for which the data is being requested. Deans and Associate Deans may request student data on behalf of a faculty member if the faculty member is unable to do so. This data is being stored in K16-Scaffold and can be accessed by Instructional Design & Distance Learning Staff, Copies of the data requested will be sent to the requestor.
