How to Import Grades from Arlinear to Brightspace

So your students’ grades have been collected on the Arlinear platform, and now you want to move them into a different learning management system such as Brightspace.

In this article, we’ll cover how to take grades from the Arlinear grade book and move them to Brightspace. This works for grades taken through a classroom or an invite link.

*Export Your Grades as a CSV File

First, navigate to the Grade Book by clicking “Grades” in the navbar

You should see your classroom listed under “Active Classrooms”. Navigate to it by double clicking.

Click on the assignment that you want to export, then click “Download Grades as CSV”

In the Downloads folder on your computer, you will see a grades.csv with all of your students data. In the next section, we’ll discuss uploading that to Brightspace.
