How to Export the Gradebook
Use this process if you want to back up your gradebook some place other than Blackboard, or if you want to use Excel to determine averages and final grades.
- Go to the Gradebook in the Control Panel.
- Click on Download Grades (at the top right of the screen).
- Select Comma for Delimiter Type. (If you're really interested, delimiter type is how the download file will separate the columns).
- Blackboard will crunch for a minute, depending on how big your gradebook is.
- Click Download.
- Pick a good location (i.e., one you will remember) and save the file.
This file can be opened in Excel. On most systems, you can double-click the file. On some, you may have to start Excel, then go to the File menu and select Open.
