Can Course Conversion From BlackBoard to Moodle Be Done???

by Leah Knowles 2 years, 4 months ago

Is there an easy way to take a Bb course file and push it to Open LMS?

Do I need to request the admin of the Bb site export the course in a specific way for it to work, or is there a conversion tool?

Open LMS has a conversion tool. We used it when we moved from Blackboard to Moodle. You might have to ask for it to be installed. It worked ok, but when we used it, it did NOT bring over any assignments, those had to be recreated manually.

Hi Leah, I was involved in an LMS migration a few years ago (2016 I think?) from Bb to Moodle.  At that point, we needed a conversion tool called Exputo.  If you're interested, I can talk to the reps and get the current details for you.

Leah,

Open LMS advises using K16 for course conversion if a college wants to use a third party.  

Best wishes,
