I would say that this only requires a litte creative restructuring,
and to give up the idea that in teaching.org, courses must be level 1.

In teaching.org:

* Intro to Logic
#+ARCHIVE: archive settings for logic
** Fall200072008

* Intro to Philosophy
#+ARCHIVE: settings for philosophy
** FALL20072008
