Hi Peter
Thanks for your thoughts, however it is only possible for Blackboard staff
to do this on the Bb.com site. The instructor does not have access to this
option as they do on an institution's server.

It should be possible for a user to create this zip archive themselves.
From the Course Control Panel, select 'Course Utilities' and then choose
'Archive Course' from the following menu. Select the desired content areas
(probably all areas) and press submit. The receipt provides a link to
download the archive.
Only Administrators can re-import the archived course. From the System Admin
panel, choose 'Course Utilities, and then 'Import Course'. Enter a Course
ID, click browse to locate the .zip archive and press submit.
I haven't done this very often, but it appears to work OK.

In principle it is very easy, Bb provide a zipped copy which you import. The
hard part is getting them to provide them. I have been waiting over a month
for about 15 of our courses to be sent over. I think Bb are having a problem
with this facility. There is also a limit to the number they will process
free of charge, I think it's about 25.
