you can export your course and then import the question pools into
Moodle using the Blackboard "POOL" type export format. It relies on XML
functions being compiled into your PHP. Note that you must first unpack
the exported zip file and provide Moodle with the appropriate .dat file.
Note that this version does not work with Blackboard Version 6 and
newer. (Use this format for ExamView 5 or 6)
However, it's always best to guesstimate the amount of time that it will
take to create again vs. the export / import. Sometimes it's just
better to start from scratch.
Hope this helps!
