As LLCC Academic Innovation & eLearning plans for the final stage of the transition from Blackboard to Canvas, it is time to start backing up any existing content in Blackboard that you would like to retain for future access or use in Canvas. The college’s license with Blackboard will expire at the end of this fiscal year (June 2021), and access for all users will terminate at that time.

In preparation for this system closure, AIeL has developed instructions (emailed March 23) to assist you with the process of exporting your courses as well as your individual grade books. For record keeping, it is important that you export each course and export the gradebook for each class as a separate file. You will produce two separate files for each course in Blackboard.

The deadline to have all Blackboard exports and backups complete is close of business, Wednesday, May 26, 2021.

If you have any questions about exporting course or gradebook content, please contact Gary Bach, instructional technology specialist at gary.bach@llcc.edu or at 217-786-2345.
