Export Course:

Exports can include all or any portions of your Blackboard course EXCEPT student data, work, and grades. It is strongly recommended that you back up your Gradebook any time you make significant changes.

GENERATE EXPORT:

  1. From your Blackboard course:
  2. Go to the "Control Panel"
  3. Click on "Export Course"
  4. Click on "Export" at the top of the page.
  5. Select the materials you would like to include in your export package.
  6. Click "Submit"
  7. Blackboard will take a few minutes to generate an export.zip file containing the content. You will receive an e-mail when it is ready for you.

DOWNLOAD EXPORT:

  1. Once you have received an email, navigate to the "Export Course" page
  2. Select the link provided to "download the generated package file"
  3. Select "OK"
  4. PLEASE NOTE: Blackboard course export and archive files cannot be read outside of Blackboard. DO NOT OPEN the Blackboard course export/archive .zip files because doing so will corrupt the file for re-importing into Blackboard.
