Upload Grades to SI-net via SI-net merge tool (Ultra)

Introduction

The marks spreadsheet you can download from the Gradebook cannot be directly uploaded to SI-net as it is not in the required format. Furthermore, marks from the Gradebook spreadsheet cannot be copied and pasted into a SI-net course list, as students are listed in a slightly different order.

Steps

To upload grades to SI-net from the Blackboard Grade Centre you need to:

1. Download your course list from SI-net.
2. Use the Blackboard SI-net Merge tool to create a spreadsheet with a SI-net compatible version of your grade centre content.
3. Move (using a formula) the final student marks and grades to correct SI-net column OR
   calculate the final mark and grade in the correct SI-net column. Keep a copy of this working file, then reduce it down to a grades spreadsheet containing only the two columns required by SI-net.
4. Upload your grades spreadsheet to SI-net.
