How to import test questions into BlackBoard 

I'm not sure if I am happy or angry! Happy that you showed me this method of formatting questions into usable testbank format, ANGRY that I have been doing things the hard way for about 20 years!!! Thank you sir! May you have goats' milk enough for thy food, food enough for thy household.

I suddenly have to teach my college course online due to stay-at-home orders. THANK YOU! This has been a life-saver!

Muchas gracias por todo, cada día aprendo más 😊

This video just saved me a world of headache as I sat here pondering how to input a 50 question final into BB. Thank you so much for taking the time to make and share this!

Like the others who've commented, I have to switch to fully online instruction. About 2 years ago, I went through a long and painful trial and error to figure out how to move a Word test to Blackboard, and now I'm trying to remember those steps. But this seems so much less painful - thank you!

This was an amazing tutorial! You saved me hours of work manually imputing the questions into Blackboard! If I could give you a 1000 thumbs up or buy you a drink, I would. Thanks a bunch.

My anxiety-based concerns for needing to suddenly convert to a 'Online Test' format for the rest of the semester (thanks Corona!) has been decreased significantly because of you. THANK YOU!!

Excellent explanation of converting the ready examinations to Blackboard and upload. No need for TESTGEN or others, thanks to save my time and my money!

Thank you so much! During this time of remote teaching on the fly, you have saved me so much time!

OMG! Thank you!! I am actually saving them as a pool rather than a test. Worked perfectly!

Super helpful. Clear, easy and direct to the point instructions. Thank you for this🙏🙏🙏

This is an excellent tutorial, thank you! I've been spending all day trying to figure out how to get my test into BB from Macmillan, since their method isn't working. I downloaded it as a Word doc, did your steps, and BOOM! Perfectly ready for my students. ❤️

save tons of my time! thank you!

saving and shared! Thank you for this, I could not get my tests to generate, no one wants to hand enter what can be automated! Nice

This is super helpful. Worth doing the work up front, especially for longer exams. One small critique- this * is an asterisk. Cheers.

Thank you so much for clear and to the point explanation. Appreciate it

Amazing! Thank you Rick! Your step-by-step directions were very clear and easy to understand. Much appreciated! :)

Blessing to you. This is fantastic. Excellent work

Thank you!! This video was very helpful! You explained things very well.

Your first "Replace" action for the answer line removal: you should have asked it to replace with nothing instead of a space. Your method tool ALSO includes a letter for each answer. In Blackboard you have the option of randomizing answers which will naturally create a strange appearance with lettered answers being in a randomized order. Pretty good tool except for that stark issue. If you could not include those letters it would be perfect. Let me know if you fix it.

Thank you! You made my life easier!

This was very helpful and it will save me a lot of time. Thanks a lot!!

Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much!

Estoy emocionado 😊

We are not worthy! Thanks for putting this together.

Excelente

Drat. It seems the link no longer works. It was wonderful while it lasted! Thanks.

Hi.. Thank you for this video. Does the generator tool work with any language rather than English ? If not then what is the solution?

Saved so much time for me. Thank you!!

Thank you. This was so helpful and saved a ton of time.

Thanks a lot for the useful information ... I am a Mac user and i don't have Note Pad, what can i use instead? Notes wasn't helpful

Thank you. This is clear and helpful.

This was very helpful. Thank you.

How should I format a "fill in the blank" question so that it can be understood by Blackboard?

This was fantastic! (for my BB courses) Is there a way to import word doc into CANVAS QUIZ (under "new quizzes")?

Thank you Sir! Very much appreciated!

thanks for the video, can i add a fill in the blank question type?

You are a huge help!

I have utilized this many times. Most recently, it has not been working for me. Any alternatives to this particular link?

Wow! Thank you so much! This was a wonderful gift.

every time I try to import the test pools into blackboard I get a fatal error code..Mar 24, 2020 4:09:52 PM - [FATAL] Fatal: An error has occurred. The error recorded is: The .zip file you provided failed to import. Please try again with a new file. For more information, see the detailed log. Mar 24, 2020 4:09:52 PM - [WARNING] Status: The operation import did not complete. Any ideas?

The link you provided does not work, but thank you anyway, and if possible, would you please check on the link if it works.

You're genius ! I won't say more ..

A super helpful guide! thanks!

Thank you so much, your vid totally helped me this spring. Now when I go to the generator for summer class using the same link I get this error message when I click download on the generator. Any clue? "405 - HTTP verb used to access this page is not allowed. The page you are looking for cannot be displayed because an invalid method (HTTP verb) was used to attempt access."

Is it possible to dictate that I want say; five questions each from six chapters? Where I've uploaded say 10 questions from each of those six chapters.

This worked perfectly for me!

Genius!!! TYVM for the video

The link no longer works. Is there an alternative link to do this?

Can you also use this to upload questions to make pools too?

I have a MAC, I don't have a windows key. Is there an equivalent?

That was fantastic! Thanks a bunch.

The link for the conversion program is no longer functioning!!! Any new link?

Thank you prof

I tried this about six different ways and it creates ONE super long Multiple choice question with many answers. No idea how it happens or how to fix it! Did it happen to anyone else?

Thanks a lot

the link does not work any more

Thanks!

Wow, awesome...

Dear Mr. Rick, Thank you for such a wonderful and useful video. I tried to upload MCQ questions and it works. But the second time when I tried with the same procedure, I find it is not working and it generates error message like this: An error occurred. Contact the System Administrator. For reference, the Error ID is 7d08ec17-0701-4ca0-b481-5cf1812016cc. Why it happens and what is the solution? I will appreciate your response. Best wishes,

Maybe you could show us what this looks like from the students end as for me I don't get putting in the answers ? How and when the student goes to this what do they see answers no answers?? Still in the dark!,

Thanks! Anyone know how I can do gap fill?

did everything you said...got a fatal error...test would not upload

Thank you!

Or you can use an app called LEMA on IOS - Great video, thanks

Does this work on a Mac?

I use a tool called GETMARKED DIgitaliser that import word into blackboard in one click. Much simpler than this!

WOW!! is all i can say!!
