Colleagues,
I have just encountered a nuisance in Blackboard and would be
grateful for any suggestions about how to get around it. We are running Bb5
at the moment. We haven't had a window of opportunity to upgrade to 5.51.
So if this problem is fixed by the upgrade, I would like to know.
The problem is -- I have recently created a survey in Blackboard in
order to evaluate student satisfaction with Blackboard and the resources we
have placed on it. This is required by our in institutional QA practices.
This was easy enough, but I wanted to propagate this across a large number
of courses; and the only way that I could find to do this was to create a
pool of questions from the survey and then export the pool from the first
course, import it into the second course and create a new survey in the
second course. That wouldn't have been so bad except that when you import
questions into a pool, the pool organises them according to question type
(e.g. essay, multiple choice, multiple answer). This makes a nonsense of
the organisation of your survey and you have to then re-order all the
questions and the process is ridiculously time consuming.
I haven't been able to find anyway of just copying a survey or
assessment from one existing course to another existing course. Does anyone
have any clever suggestions? Have I missed something obvious?
Many thanks,
Bruce
