Hi there. This is a quick video tutorial to show you how to export your

Blackboard course and import it into Canvas. First, select the blackboard

course that you would like to export from. Next, go to packages and utilities.

Select export archive course. Next, select the export package link at the top of

the page. Select all in Section 3. Scroll down to about the middle of the screen,

and you'll see a discussion board option that you want to select the second radio

button - include only the forums with no starter posts. This makes certain that

you have no student interactions but you do have the forums that you've created

from the previous courses. If you'd like to know the size of your course, select

the package size, calculate size, and it will give you a number here. There is a limit

to the amount of space that you can take up in Blackboard and in Canvas, so you

want to make sure that your file size is relatively small. Once you're finished,

click Submit, and a green ribbon comes up at the top of the page that says success.

This action has been queued the email will be sent when the process is

complete. Sometimes this process takes a little bit of time and sometimes it's

relatively quick. If you'd like to sit and watch and wait then you can usually

I wait about five or ten minutes, and then I come back, and I hit my refresh

button. If I don't see a zip file showing on this page, when you click refresh.

Usually it brings up the zip file. If it doesn't, either your files are really big

and it's taking a really long time to zip it all up into a package or there's

a problem. If you have a problem with this please feel free to call the

Faculty Center and any one of the staff will help you. Once you have clicked on

the export package and you see this zip file here, click export file. A dialog box

will pop up and give you an option to save the file. Some PC's give you the

option to open or save. You always want to save. Go ahead and save it on your

desktop or in your downloads files. Once the zip file has been saved and you have

your file on your desktop or in your downloads, go to your canvas account and

you want to go to either canvas.instructure.com, if you're going to the sandbox, it's canvas.instructure.com

and that's your play area where you can build classes and import from

Blackboard to see how they go. If you don't already have a new class on your

dashboard, you can go here to the right-hand side of your screen, and you

can select start a new course. When you select start a new course, you name the

course . . . let's just say it's sandbox,

leave it private and copyrighted, but you can see that you can make it public if

you decided that you wanted to, and you don't need to check the make course

publicly visible because this is just for you to be able to import and develop

your course. Click create a course, and it will now bring you to this next screen.

The first thing that you want to do is you want to go to settings on the left

hand side and over here on the right hand side you want to select import

content into this course. Click on the drop-down menu and select Blackboard 6 7

8 9 export zip file. Choose your file that you've saved on your desktop or on

your downloads folder, and it's going to be named export

something-or-other zip. Click open. Now you are going to select all content but

you can see that you could also select specific content. If you're going to

select specific content, you select this radio button, and then you click import

and then after you click import, it will give you the option to select the

content that you want to import in. In this case, I'm going to select all

content, and there's nothing to overwrite or adjust, so I'm going to just select

import. It will show you a progress bar as to how far it's gotten on its process.

It's relatively quick unless your course is massively huge. Once it completes the

running of the of the import, it will give you a completed status and

show you if there's any issues.

How to Write a Book for Beginners: 3-Part Video Series - Duration: 2:39.

If you've ever wanted to write a book, now is the time to capitalize on that idea.

Imagine what it would feel like to hold a paperback copy of a book you created in your

hand...

It's an amazing feeling!

I've written 2 already and each time I was amazed that I'd actually released and published

a book!

I was looking at that thing for hours!

A few years ago that would never have been possible.

And I spent years believing it was too hard or that it took too much money to write it.

I gave myself all kinds of excuses about why I couldn't do it, until I did it.

All those things I thought were stopping me was really me getting in my own way.

It was way easier than I thought to publish the book but harder to market and promote

it.

I started thinking about all that time I wasted being afraid to do it, and then how easy it

was to actually do.
