Guidelines for transferring course materials from Blackboard to PolyLearn (Moodle)
It will take some time for you to make a plan, attend training, set up courses and transfer the materials. We have developed two approaches (explained in this tutorial or video) to assist you. Once you determine the approach you want to take, you can get a head start by extracting static content out of Blackboard, organizing your materials, uploading them into PolyLearn, and linking to you content. You may also wish to consider taking our Transferring Files from Blackboard to PolyLearn hands-on workshop.
