No student data will be included in the migration from Blackboard to Canvas (e.g., grades, assignments, submissions, or quiz results). This guide specifically addresses how students can save their classwork on a local or cloud drive. Students are not required to download their work, but they have the option if they would like to have it for the future.
Important
- Blackboard will be unavailable to all users after December 1st, 2022.
- There is no way to bulk download all your assignments for one course.
- If you no longer see a course on your Blackboard dashboard, the instructor has made it unavailable. Contact the instructor to request permission to access the course.
- Courses taken three or more years prior may no longer be available.
How To Save Your Student Submissions From Blackboard – Assignments
- Navigate to MyGrades.
- Under the ‘Item’ column, click the title of the assignment.
- In this dashboard, you will see your original submission, which you can download.
- If the instructor has provided feedback in the ‘feedback box’, you can save it as an artifact.
- If the instructor provided feedback directly on your paper, you can download the annotated version of the paper to your local drive.
How To Save Your Student Submissions From Blackboard – Tests and Quizzes
- Navigate to MyGrades.
- Under the ‘Item’ column, click the title of the quiz or test.
- In this dashboard, you will see the ‘calculated grade’ column. Click on the score in this column.
- Depending on your instructor’s settings, you may be able to see the entire test which shows your incorrect or correct answers, or you may only be able to see a score. If you are able to see the entire test, you can print the test to a pdf document and save on your local drive.
