Exporting a Test/Question Bank for Blackboard
Question banks or tests can be exported to a Blackboard-formatted file for import into the LMS. For users of Blackboard 6.0-
7.0, the exported file will be in a form of a question pool whether exported from an ExamView test or question bank.
The Blackboard 7.1-9.0 format, however, exports an ExamView test as a test file that is imported using Blackboard's Test
Manager. Question banks exported for Blackboard 7.1-9.0 are formatted as a question pool just as in the older Blackboard
format. An advantage of the newer Blackboard 7.1-9.0 export format is support for some question information fields. For more
information, see
Blackboard Question Support on page 168.
