When to Use?
This article is for faculty members who need to export test pool questions from Blackboard Ultra into a PDF or Word document. This can help with reviewing question sets offline, sharing assessments with colleagues, or keeping a backup copy of your test pools in an easily accessible format. Although it’s possible to export tests using Respondus 4.0, this method provides a simple workaround for users on incompatible devices.
Procedure
Step 1: Create a test with your pool questions extracted from the pool.
- Go to your Blackboard course site.
- Create a new test (specifically to extract out the pools).
- Once you have a blank test, select the purple plus and choose Reuse questions.
- On the left side of the screen, under Question Banks, select the pools you wish to extract. Then choose Select all and Copy Questions.
Step 2: Print the test as a PDF to export it from Blackboard into a separate document.
- Once the questions have been pulled into the test, select Print twice; once on the main screen and once in the pop-up window.
- When the Print window appears, change the destination to Save as PDF and then select Save.
- You can now open the saved PDF in Word or Google Docs if you wish to edit the contents.
