Grades in Brightspace - Exporting
This page describes how instructors can export or make local copies (e.g., on their laptops) of their D2L gradebook. This function can be useful for:
- Backing-up a D2L gradebook
Steps For Exporting D2L Grades
- Login to D2L and select the course you want to export
- Select the Grades link from within the Assessment menu.
- Select Export button
- Select the Export options including grade items, user details, and grade values.
- Select Export to CSV or Export to Excel .
- D2L will start to create an exportable version of your grade book.
- When the file is created, the message "Your file is ready to download" will appear. Select the link provided.
- What happens next will vary slightly depending on what Web browser you use, but you want to Save the export package to your computer.
- You can then copy or move that file to secure WSU network storage space. D2L assigns a name to the file automatically (e.g., Prin of Mgmt (MGMT 315-01) WIN_GradesExport_Apr 21, 2010 1255 PM.csv). This name can be changed, just maintain the .csv or .xlsx extensions.
