Important Information

Cartridges can only be downloaded to one course.
Courses containing cartridges can not be copied, or archived. (The Blackboard system provides copyright protection for the publishers' cartridge content by disallowing the copy, export, or archive of cartridge-supplied content (in Blackboard 6). All instructor-provided content is safely copied and/or restored into new course instances. Then, a new copy of the cartridge can be downloaded into the new course. The cartridge WILL NOT disturb content already in the course.)

When a course containing a cartridge is deleted from the system, the cartridge can not be restored.

Instructor need to request/buy a new cartridge every semester that he/she would like to use it.

Cartridges can be downloaded by instructors, by using the course Control Panel. (Instructor will receive by email the necessary code and instructions to download the cartridge) It takes a few hours for the cartridge to download into the system after the code has been input in the control panel)
