Canvas/BbLearn - Export 1 or Select Quizzes/Tests/Exams from BbLearn to Canvas

Exporting quizzes/tests/exams to Canvas from BbLearn

You have to do this workaround to just get 1 or a select few quizzes/tests/exams out of Bb Learn and into Canvas.

You will need someone who can do and knows how to do a course export in Bb Learn.

Here is what do to.

  1. Enter a course section in Bb Learn, scroll down in the left navigation (left nav) panel.
  2. Click to expand "Packages and Utilities." Click "Export/Archive" course.
  3. Click "Export Package."
  4. Scroll down, and click the "Tests, Surveys, and Pools" option.
  5. Leave all the options to their defaults.
  6. Click "Submit."
  7. Wait for an email saying the export is ready, or click "Refresh" in 5-10 minutes on Export/Archive page in Bb Learn.
  8. Go to your Canvas section, scroll down in the left nav to & click "Settings."
  9. Click "Import Course Content."
  10. From "Select Content Type," choose "Blackboard 6/7/8/9/Ultra export .zip file."
  11. Click in the "Source" box and upload the export .zip file.
  12. Click "Select specific content."
  13. Click "+ Add to Import Queue."
  14. You'll see something running further down the page. When the status bar for it is finished, you'll see an option to "Select Specific Content" or similar.
  15. Click that option, select the specific tests you want, and follow the onscreen instructions to finish the import. Should take a very short amount of time for another status bar to fill up and finish.
