Our Blackboard contract is coming to an end and it is time to get your course materials out of Blackboard before it goes away!
The deadline for completing the export process is November 22nd.
NOTE: If you have students with incompletes in Blackboard, please download the grade center from the Blackboard class. (Instructions at the end of this document). After you have the grades saved, email eLearning@shoreline.edu to discuss how to add the student to a Canvas class to finish the necessary work.
Many of you have already moved your course materials into Canvas but if you need to retrieve old course materials from Blackboard, please go to https://shoreline.blackboard.com and look for your classes. You need an export file, not an archive file from Blackboard to upload into Canvas; archive files do not load into Canvas.
Here are the steps to export your course materials from Blackboard and then how to import the content into Canvas:
1. Here is the link, https://shoreline.blackboard.com; login with Blackboard username and password.
How to Export a Blackboard Course in Common Cartridge Format (works better than Blackboard zipped file)

4. Click Submit.
5. You will receive and email that the export is complete; return to Control Panel > Packages and Utilities > Export/Archive course
6. Right click on the file link and save the zipped export file to your computer or thumb drive.
NOTE:
Files, items, discussion forums, web links (URLs), and assessments will be exported, but certain components may be excluded (for instance, topics in discussion forums are exported, but grading, which is not supported by Canvas is not).
Canvas has fewer question types, so exported tests and pools will not include incompatible questions.
Common Cartridge exports a course into a single folder of content. Each content area is then exported as a sub-folder inside the main course folder.
How to Import Blackboard course materials to Canvas:
1. Login to Canvas, https://canvas.shoreline.edu with your Canvas username and password.
2. On the Canvas Dashboard, click on the Start a New Course button, , located on the right hand side of the page.

Thank you all for participating in the Great Shake Out on Thursday last week and helping Shoreline become better prepared.
There were concerns about most people not receiving a text message while a few others did. This is a great time to remind everyone that you must opt-in for emergency alerts via text. Here is the website that allows you to customize your emergency alerts: https://shoreline.edu/connect/login.aspx?returnurl=/connect
Please help us spread the word and let everyone know to opt-in for emergency alerts!
Thanks!
