How to download the Learning Management System (LMS) Test Bank Files
Navigate to catalog.flatworldknowledge.com and log into your account.
Click on Adopted Books to open your dashboard.
Click the Supplements button for the desired book.
On the Supplements page, scroll down to the section titled 'Test Bank Files for Import to Learning Management Systems' and download the BlackBoard .zip file. It will be denoted by "BB" or "BlackBoard" in the file name.
While D2L/Brightspace supports other file types we offer, the Blackboard format provides the cleanest upload.
Example:
Unzipping/Expanding the BlackBoard File
Locate the downloaded BlackBoard .zip file on your computer.
Double click the file to unzip/expand the file. Doing so will result in a folder named after the downloaded file. Open this folder to find a folder titled Question Sets.
In this Question Sets folder, the Test Bank questions will be divided further into other .zip files labeled by Chapter or Chapter/Section, depending on which book you are using. These are the files that will be uploaded into D2L/Brightspace.
