Cheers all,

Looks like we are all thinking the same thing,

It’s a shame that it doesn’t work the same as in certain parts of behind.blackboard where you can save / print discussions, (if I recall).

I think Andy meant not being able to export  wiki and blog is a shortcoming of the software – room for improvement.

Hi,

Blogs and Wiki’s are ‘User data’ so are not ‘course content’, User data is only propagated with a Archive/Restore. Course content can use Export/import

We’ve not found a way of exporting blogs or journals (we’re on SP1, so this might have changed)

Using the Blackboard export function doesn’t export them in a way which is usable outside of Blackboard

It is definitely a shortcoming of the software – room for improvement

Dear All,

Our institution hasn’t quite upgraded yet but a colleague already has an issue with the new blog tool.

They are exporting / importing a course area in preview accounts, and have lost the blog. Is this a known issue?

Some staff and students will also want to export their blog, to take away (especially HE students), further develop by importing into another blogging sites / webpage or just keep as work. I can’t see a clear way of doing this.

Is this possible?

Many thanks in advance

Ty
