Archiving Courses and Assignments

CengageNOWv2's archiving feature allows you to store courses and course content to retrieve at a later time, either for reference or for use in future courses. You can archive courses, course sections, or individual assignment. Course content placed on the Archived Materials page is readily available for you to retrieve, copy into a new folder, course, or section, or delete permanently.

Your Archived Materials page is automatically organized according to the hierarchical structure of your folders, courses, sections, and assignments. This means that if you archive, for example, a course, any sections and assignments it contains are filed with it. If you want to archive only assignments, you must select and archive them at the assignment level, without selecting their associated sections or courses. If you archive a course section, only section-level assignments, not course-level assignments, are archived with that section, and so on.

Retrieving content follows this same structure when you return assignments to their original location. To retrieve an assignment that was archived with its associated section or course, CengageNOWv2 automatically retrieves the relevant section or course as well. To retrieve a section of an archived course, you are also required to retrieve its course-level assignments. And if you are a section-level instructor, you must have the course-level instructor retrieve your course-level items for you.

You can access your archived materials by clicking the View Archived Materials link available on your Home page Quick Link list, Courses or Assignments pages. You may need to click the link to Show All Options on the Assignments page, if the link is hidden.
