Hello Everyone,

I am trying to import an WebCT CE 4.1 course into WebCT CE6 and observed that the organizer pages within my CE 4.1 course which are empty are not appearing in my course in WebCT CE6 after importing. Is this any kind of issue with the import feature in CE6 OR does the import feature in CE6 ignores the empty organizer pages within the course package at the time of import.

I am using the export to CE6 feature from the CE 4.1 control panel to get the course package.

Thanks in advance

Hi Nllesh,

The WebCT CE 4.1 course export for importing into Blackboard CE 6-8 creates packages following the IMS Content Packaging specifications. Since Organizer pages (Folders in CE 6-8) are not "content" but really only "placeholders" or "paths" to content, they will not be included in the content package if they do not have any content (single pages, content modules, quizzes, etc).

You will need to manually re-add any empty organizer pages as Folders after you migrate the course.

Cheers,

Bob
