Hi,

Thanks

You can export a Blackboard Grade Center as an Excel spreadsheet from a course. But can you batch export Grade Centers from multiple courses? If you just need to reference the grades for each course, why import into Canvas? The course import function brings in content, quizzes, discussion boards, but you don't get users or the Grade Center from a Blackboard Archive.
When you use the API to do content migration, a copy of the zipped Archive is saved in the Canvas course and content like pages, files, modules, dB entries are unpacked to the new site. You can save users and GC in an Archive. Still, you would need to restore the Bb Archive to an instance of Blackboard in order to view student interactions and grades.
We've chosen to copy the Blackboard database and pull grades via SQL commands. I don't know how, but we will have someone that does.
