Since we are transitioning from Blackboard to Brightspace as of September 1, 2025, it's important that you retrieve your files from Blackboard in time. This includes, for example:
- Submitted assignments
- Feedback you’ve received
- Content from your Blackboard portfolio
- Files in your Content System
It’s possible that you’ve already saved all your files and submitted work in your own OneDrive, or that you don’t need or want to keep any feedback. Not sure about this? Then please contact your teacher.
- Saving submitted work
Have you submitted an assignment in Blackboard and it's not saved in your OneDrive, but you’d like to keep it? You can download it directly from your Blackboard course.
To do this:
- Go to the correct course;
- Navigate to the assignment where you submitted your files;
- Click the icon next to your submitted file to download it.
2. Saving feedback you’ve received
To save feedback you’ve received on a submitted assignment, you can take a screenshot of the feedback.
3. Content from your Blackboard portfolio
Do you use the Blackboard portfolio and still have files stored there that you haven’t saved elsewhere? You can download these files and save them to your OneDrive.
- Navigate to ‘Tools’ and click on ‘Portfolios’
- Click ‘More’ next to the portfolio you want to download, then select ‘Download’ – you will receive a .zip folder containing your portfolio (including any attached files).
4. Securing files from your Content System
You may have personal files stored in your Content System – this is your personal folder with files in Blackboard. It’s possible that this folder is empty, in which case you don’t need to do anything. To check this, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to ‘Tools’ and click on ‘Content Collection’
- Under ‘My Content’, you will find your personal files.
- Select the files you want to download and click ‘Download Package’.
- You will now receive your files in a .zip file in your downloads folder.
It’s important that you retrieve your files before September 1, 2025, as we will no longer be using Blackboard after that date.
