Exporting a course allows the user to maintain a local copy (on his or her computer hard drive or disk) to backup course material or for future use. Exporting a course will give users the option to save all course content or just specific individual areas of the course, such as announcements, tests, blogs, etc. Student roster information or student activities will not be saved with the exported course.
NOTE: Unchecking the "Limit Package" option ensure that you are exporting all the files, not just the links to files.
This feature exports all information in the different areas. It does not export only one document, folder, test, etc. This feature exports the entire content area or all of the tests, surveys and polls in that course or area selected. To copy folders and individual documents from one course to another, go to Copy and Move Content in a Course.
At this point, you will need to wait until you receive an email from the Blackboard system administrator informing you that the export is complete.
This exported course can be saved for as long as desired. When ready to import these selected course materials into a different course (a course must already be available in Blackboard), go to Import Course Content.
NOTE: Do not open the zip file, as it can corrupt the file.
