Exporting from Respondus Manually and Importing into Blackboard Learn
We have had so many issues with authentication in the Respondus 4 Publish Wizard that we are now recommending a much simpler workaround which bypasses the server configuration and allows you to export a Respondus test file as a zip to your computer and then upload it from within Blackboard.
