This article will step you through the process of importing an ExamView Blackboard file into your instance.
Assessments created in the ExamView Test Generator can be exported from ExamView using Blackboard 7.1 or higher, then imported. ExamView assessments can be administered online via the Student Portal, or on paper by printing answer sheets, and scanning with Scan or printing forms and scoring with GradeCam document camera technology.
(Note: GradeCam must be licensed through Illuminate Education™.)
