  3. LearningSpace to Blackboard LearningSpace • Versions 2.0 through 3.5 • Originating content was in a proprietary format, all content had to be recreated/cleaned up • No export feature for content (“Save As HTML” only real option) • Content, content structure, quizzes, assignment management, gradebook (i.e. everything) all had to be recreated • No standards used; Blackboard did allow import of some content, but did not take advantage of it since the content had to be created from scratch ManualProcess Blackboard

  5. Blackboard to Desire2Learn Blackboard • Conversion time reduced (15-20 min/course) • Originating content was in an open format (HTML); styles externally managed • Export feature available • Content structure, assignment management, gradebook all had to be recreated from scratch • IMS Content Packaging (CP) and Quiz and Test Interface (QTI) formats came into play; Content and quiz data did not have to be recreated; additionally some automation was allowed ManualProcess Automation Desire2Learn
