It is possible to reuse tests created in Blackboard Learn original in your Learn Ultra course. There are a few things to consider before copying your test, which are explained in full in our guide Preparing to reuse your current (original) Tests in Ultra.
Copy Content
When adding a test in a content area, hover over the divider line where you would like to add the content, then click on the plus icon to reveal the Add Content menu. The second option on the Add Content menu is Copy Content.
If you are copying Question Banks (Pools in an original Blackboard course) you can open the Copy page from the menu at the top of the Course Content area.
Follow the steps:
- Find the relevant Organisation/Course
- Find the relevant content area or Question Bank folder
- Find the relevant test or pools
- Copy Selected test or pools
Find the relevant course
Selecting Copy Content from the Add Content menu brings up a list of all the Courses and Organisations you are enrolled in with a staff role.
- Toggle the top menu between Courses and Organisations as desired
- If necessary use the search field at the top of the screen to find the desired course
- Once you have found the course with the tests on click on the course title
Find the relevant content area
When you select the course you wish to copy the test from, it will open as a list of folders. Each folder is a Content Area (corresponding to a menu item) from the original course. In addition if there are Question Banks (Pools in original courses) set up on the course a folder named Question Banks will appear on the list.
A.) Content Area containing the test – click on the folder name to locate the test you require.
B.) Question Banks – click on question banks to locate question banks (Pools in original courses) that you wish to copy.
Find the relevant tests or pools
Clicking on the content area or question bank will drill down to the next level, content within that specific Content Area (typically folders or items in the original course) or pools.
- Select any files or pools you wish to copy
- Use the link back to the course to navigate back if necessary
- All the files you select will be added to the Items Selected section as you navigate around the folders.
Copy selected tests and pools
Once you are happy with all the tests and/or pools in the Items Selected section, press Start Copy.
The copy starts and a Copying Content wait screen will appear. This process will take longer if you are copying a lot of content,
The test will be copied into the specified location, where you opened the Add Content menu.
