Bb Exports & Bb Tests

If you have a Bb archive (.zip file) or your textbook publisher gives you a test file as a Blackboard .zip file, you can import these files directly into D2L. Use the Edit Course > Import / Export / Copy Components > from a file > browse to the file on your computer > click the Open button to begin the upload process.

Your textbook publisher might also supply test questions in Word or CSV (comma separated values) formats. These file types must be converted to a format D2L recognizes before uploading. Deep inside D2L's Question Library is a link to a sample CSV quiz file. Download and open this file in Excel. Use this as a guide to creating your own quizzes. Be sure to save the file as CSV in Excel before uploading to D2L. The Instructor Guide for Quizzes had information on uploading a file http://scc.losrios.edu/~instrdev/d2l/Quizzes.pdf#page=26.
