Requesting Course Copy from Current Fall Term Shells

    Option 1:
    Export/Import Course:
    After requesting a Term Shell for Spring 2012 using the Faculty Class Maintenance website, an Instructor may export the content of their current term course. Then they can import the file into their New Term Shell for Spring 2012.

    Blackboard Learn logoExport Instructions:
    -Go to the Control Panel of your course in Blackboard 8 and click on Export Course.

    -Check all of the items that are requested for the export and then submit.

    -Allow a few minutes, and then right click and refresh.

    -Right click on the export file and save to the desktop.
