What is the point of downloading the Gradebook?
You can download the full gradebook or selected columns from your courses to work with in another program outside of Blackboard, such as Microsoft Excel, to do statistical analysis. You can also make changes to exported grades in another application and then upload them back into Blackboard.
These columns are included in an exported grade file:
- Last name, first name, and username
- Student ID, last access, and availability
- Grade columns
- Attendance
- Manually added items
- Calculations
- Overall grade

How do I download grades from the Gradebook?
- In the Gradebook, select the down arrow icon. The Download Grades panel will open on the right.
- In the Download Grades panel, you must first select Download Options. If you select Full Gradebook, you are presented with the option to select items, and whether or not to include feedback for the selected item.
- If you select Grade History, you must select which items to download, whether or not to include deleted items, and last modified date. The last modified date is a pull-down menu with the following options; All Time, 6 Months, 30 Days, 14 Days, 7 Days, and 1 Day. When you include deleted items, these won’t show up in the list of selectable items, but these will be included in the downloaded file.
