1. Using Firefox (go to Firefox.com to download for free if you do not already have it), go to the old system (https://online.cui.edu) and into the course that contains the information you want transferred.

2. Under Control Panel, go to Packages & Utilities, Export/Archive Course, and then click the blue Export button.

   

3. Skip to step 3 Select Course Materials and put a check in the boxes that contain the material you want transferred. Click the Submit button. Look for the green success bar at the top of the screen. You will receive an email when the export file is ready. This can take awhile depending how much information is being transferred.



4. After receiving the email, go back into the old course to the export area (Control Panel, Packages & Utilities, Export/Archive Course) and you should see an Export zip file listed. If you do not see this file, you will need to refresh the screen (click the refresh button on your browser or log out of Blackboard and then back in again).


5. You will then need to download this export zip file to your local computer. To do so, click on the name of the export file that is listed (above ex. ExportFile_MCAA-540_OL1_Fall…zip file) and choose the Save File option. This will save it to your Download folder if you are using Windows 7. If you are using any other OS, Firefox will display a download window showing that the file was successfully downloaded. Right click that file and choose Open Containing Folder to see where the file is saved. You are NOT opening the zip file itself, just the location where it is located (do not try to open the zip file).

6. Log into the new system (cui.Blackboard.com) and enter the new blank course shell where you want the information to end up. Remember that your new course shell is already created for you, it just does not have anything in it.

7. Got to the Control Panel, then Packages & Utilities, Import Package / View Logs, and click the blue Import Package button.

8. On step 2. “Select a Package”, click the Browse button to find the Export…zip file you saved on your computer.

9. On step 3. “Select Course Materials”, put a check in all the boxes that indicate what course materials you want transferred and click the Submit button. Look for the green “Success: This action has been queued. An email will be sent when the process is complete.” banner at the top of the screen. This can take awhile depending how much information is being transferred.

10. After receiving the import course completion email from Blackboard, click the refresh button on your browser or Blackboard to see the transferred materials (or log out of Blackboard and then back in again).

11. You will need to delete some duplicate buttons and rearrange them to suite your taste.
