Importing a Test or Quiz from .zip File
These steps only apply to a test or quiz that has been created in Blackboard and exported or shared with you as a .zip file. If you need to export the test from a course first, please see the Export a Bb Test article.
If you want to import a test bank from a textbook or publishing company, please see the Importing a Test Bank from .zip File article.
Instructions
- Login to Blackboard and navigate to the course where you need to import the test bank.
- In the Course Management section on the left side of the screen, click to expand Course Tools.
- Click Tests, Surveys, and Pools.
- Click Tests.
- On the Tests page, click Import Test.
- On the next screen, click Browse My Computer.
- Locate the downloaded text or quiz zip file (select the zip file itself, do not extract the zip file).
- This could be in a folder, if you saved it that way, or it might be in your downloads, if you downloaded it recently.
- When you find the file, click Open.
- When you have uploaded the zip file, click Submit.
The next screen will show that the Test Import Process has been completed. It is usually a pretty quick process. Click Ok.
On the next screen, you should see all of the tests in the course, including the one that was contained in the just imported zip file.
