Blackboard is no longer available at Missouri State as of May 31, 2024.
However, if you have an export file you can still use that package to upload your content to Brightspace.
Uploading the Export File to Brightspace:
NOTE: Before importing content into your Brightspace course, it is recommended you access the grade book and run the Setup Wizard.
There are two places you can upload a course package to Brightspace: through Course Content or through the Course Admin page.
From Course Content:
You can also Upload your zip file within the course itself.
- Access the course you want to import content into.
- Select the Content link from the Course Navigation bar.
- Select the Table of Contents from the left-side menu.
- Next, select the Import Course Button and choose Import Course Package from the menu options.
- This will bring up Import Course Package dialogue box. Here you can drag and drop or select Upload to upload the zip file you created when you exported your Blackboard content.
- Once you have added your zip file, select Import All Components. After the process has run you will have the option to View the Content, Import Another Package, or Review and Manage Dates.
Through the Course Admin page:
- Login to Brightspace and access the course you would like to upload content to.
- Select the Course Admin link from the course navigation bar.
