Once the master course has been created, the cartridge materials should be imported before any other materials are added to the master course. Otherwise, the cartridge import is very likely to fail.
A course import package is a ZIP file of exported course content. When you import a course package into an existing course, the content of the package is copied into the existing course. Import packages don't include student enrollments or data, such as discussion activity and grades.
Note: While you can import a course export to an existing course in Blackboard, you are not able to restore a course archive. If you need to have an archive package restored, you will need to submit a ticket with the Division of IT to request that the archive be restored.
The import process will be queued on the server and may take 5-10 minutes to complete.
You can import a course package from a previous course or from another instructor. When you import content, the content comes over in bulk — all of the content comes over at once. If you import an export package from the Original Course View, the content is converted during the import process. Any Pools from an Original Course are converted to Question Banks.
When the workflow is complete, if some items from the Original Course View weren't imported into the Ultra Course View, a notification appears at the bottom of the Course Content page with the number of exceptions. Click the notification to view the import exceptions.
