Enter the course that contains the Gradebook you wish to export.
Click on the Control Panel button.
From the Control Panel screen, under the Assessment category, click on Gradebook.
To export the spreadsheet to an Excel spreadsheet, click on Download Grades.
Select the Delimiter Type and click Submit. Note: Comma-delimited files (.CSV) have data items separated out by commas. Tab-delimited files (.XLS) have data items separated out by tabs. Both are common types of data files and can be opened in most editing software. XLS tab-delimited files can be opened directly in Excel. CSV comma-delimited files need to be imported for use
in Excel.
Click Download.
Click Save to save the file to your computer.
To open the Gradebook in Excel, locate the file and double-click on the file or within Excel, choose File>Open. Please note: Blackboard automatically assigns the file the generic name "gb_export." We encourage faulty to rename the file using a more detailed file naming conventions such as "BbCourseID_grades."
