Exporting a Test/Question Bank for Blackboard

Question banks or tests can be exported to a Blackboard-formatted file for import into the LMS. For users of Blackboard 6.0-

7.0, the exported file will be in a form of a question pool whether exported from an ExamView test or question bank.

The Blackboard 7.1-9.0 format, however, exports an ExamView test as a test file that is imported using Blackboard's Test

Manager. Question banks exported for Blackboard 7.1-9.0 are formatted as a question pool just as in the older Blackboard

format. An advantage of the newer Blackboard 7.1-9.0 export format is support for some question information fields. For more

information, see Blackboard Question Support on page 168.

Create or open a test/question bank.

Click File from the menu bar, mouse over Export, and select either Blackboard 6.0– 7.0 or Blackboard 7.1-9.0.

Select the save location, enter a file name and click Save. The question content is saved as a ZIP file.

l Take note of where the file is being saved as you will need to locate it later when uploading to the Blackboard

Pool Manager or Test Manager.

l For the PC version, the file is not saved until the Export to Blackboard wizard is completed.

Enter a question pool or test name. You may also enter a description.

l The Question Pool Name is the name displayed in Blackboard’s Pool Manager. Choose a name that will be

helpful to you in working with the questions. For example, you could use Chapter 1. The name can be a

maximum of 244 characters.

l The Test Name is the name displayed in Blackboard’s Test Manager. This option is only be available when

exporting from an ExamView test to Blackboard 7.1+ format. The name can be a maximum of 244 characters.

l The Description is optional and allows you to provide additional information about the question pool or test.

Select the formatting and feedback options.

l HTML - Maintains as much formatting as possible. Supports fonts, tables, images, etc.
