1. Archive your course - to preserve user interaction. See Handout

The archive course feature creates a permanent record of a course including all the content and user interactions. Archived courses are saved as zip files. Archiving a course does not delete it from the system. All files within the course are included in the archive, even if a file was not linked in the course.

To access the export/archive course page:

1. 1. On the Control Panel, expand the Packages and Utilities section and click Export/Archive Course.

   2. On the Export/Archive Course page, click Archive Course on the Action Bar.

   3. On the Archive Course page, to Include the Grade Center History, select the check box following the course ID. Selecting this option increases file size and processing time.

   4. In the File Attachments section, select whether to include only the links to course files or to include the links and copies of the course files content.

If you select Copy links and include copies of the content, click Calculate Size to ensure that the package size does not exceed the displayed allowed package size. To remove files and folders from the package, click Manage Package Contents.
