Streamline Assessment Creation with Akindi Importer

Do you create your assessments in a Word document before building them in Blackboard? Whether you're sourcing questions from publisher materials, textbooks, or online repositories, Akindi Importer helps instructors import assessment questions directly from Word documents into Blackboard as question banks.
