Uploading your Gradebook
blackboard > tutorials > uploading your gradebook
In Blackboard, the grade book for each course can be downloaded, edited in a spreadsheet program, and uploaded with the new information. Note: For best results, Instructors should manipulate and upload a Gradebook that has been downloaded from the Blackboard Learning System. It is not advised that Instructors create a new Gradebook from scratch then upload it. You can find the tutorial for downloading a Blackboard Gradebook here.
After downloading a grade book file, open Microsoft Excel or a similar spreadsheet program, and go to the file menu. Select Open and locate the directory where the file is saved then click the Open button. Note: The file is named "gb_export.csv" by default. Make any changes to your spreadsheet then save the file and close it.
In this tutorial you will learn how to navigate to the Gradebook, and how to upload a spreadsheet once it has been edited.
