Extracting Portfolios from Bb Content Collection

So, you made one or more Portfolios in the Blackboard Content Collection, and you do not want to lose the work you have done? Just follow along with these simple steps and screen shots so you can download your stuff.

First, login to Blackboard, then go to the Content Collection tab, and the My Portfolio area:



Your list of portfolios will differ from what is shown here, but for each you wish to download, you will have to click the Manage link.

There is an option to Check Links before downloading; if you are not concerned, just go straight to the Download Portfolio link:



Just follow the on-page directions to start the file download:



Then click the Save button. If you have several portfolios to download, you may want to change the file name as you save them:



You now have the content from your portfolios. Each ZIP file can be expanded, and the folder this makes can be placed on any web server (such as your F:\public.www area) to be viewed as a web-based portfolio. The only functionality that will not work with this method is Comments.
