Import Package

The Import Package feature allows instructors to upload information from an exported Blackboard course to a current course. Once a course is exported, instructors can import the whole course, or selected parts of the course into another course site.

Note: If the Course Settings are imported, the settings from the exported course will overwrite the setting of the destination. If the other areas are chosen, they will be added to the destination course and the existing materials will remain.

From the Control Panel:

1. Click on the Import Package link in the Course Options section.
2. Click on the Browse button.
3. Find the file to import on your hard drive or disc in the Find File window and click Open.
   Note: This action is different depending on the platform you are using.
4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Submit button.

Q: When would I want to import a course?
A: If you have exported a version of your course for storage, you will need to use this feature to reload your course to Blackboard. You can also share parts of your course with other instructors by importing specific areas to their course.
