Moving from the Old Blackboard to the New

Out with the old and in with the new? How do you get from there to here? Since we are moving from one Blackboard Server to another, the Copy function that you are normally used to is not available. You will now need to Export from one server and Import to another. For instructions on how to export and import your courses, be sure to visit our "How do I move 6.3 course materials into 7.3?" page.

There are a couple of ways you can ensure that your import/export process runs smoothly.

• Only select the content areas you need.
• Be sure that if you want to bring over deployed assignments and tests that you export the gradebook items and settings
• Save your exported course file to your local computer C: drive or s: drive DO NOT SAVE IT TO THE DESKTOP.

If you follow these steps and use the guide, you will be well on your way to making a smooth transition from 6.3 - 7.3.
