New Feature
How to
Export Your Course
”Backup of Content Only”
|
The export course feature creates a
ZIP file of your course content that can later be imported back into Blackboard. The export
feature is new to BB6, and is different than the archive feature found
previously in Blackboard 5.5. Please note, when you export a
course, it does not include any of the user interactions with the course – the
export file only includes course content.
- Login to Blackboard and enter the course where
you would like export your Blackboard course content.
- Click on Control Panel link

- Click on Export Course link under the Course Options (lower left hand side of the control panel)

- Select which areas of content to export, by
clicking on each checkbox next to each area you wish to include in the
export of your course.
- Content: selecting this item will
backup - announcements, assignments, course documents, course information,
staff information, and external links.
- Course Settings: selecting this item will
backup - navigation buttons, course entry point, tools, and communication
areas.
- Discussion Board: selecting this item will
backup - the discussion forums but not the messages.
- Grade book: selecting this item will
backup - the columns (or items) but not
the student roster or students grades.
- Groups: selecting this item will
backup - group names and discussion forums but not the group members.
- Tests, Surveys,
and pools: selecting this item will
backup - all quizzes, exams, and surveys will be included.
- Click the
button and Blackboard will create the Zip
file for download.
- Click on the link as shown below to
download the complete backup of your course:

- You will be prompted to either open or save the
archive file - Click the Save button

- Next the file dialog box will appear - navigate
to where you want to save your course shell archive on your computer
and then Click the Save button.
- Once, file has finished downloading from the
previous step, click the
button to finish the archive procedure.
