D2L: Backing Up Your Grade Book
Exporting Grades
Exporting grades to a Desire2Learn course produces a comma separated values file (.csv), with the students' information separated by commas. This file can then opened with Excel and saved as an Excel file (.xlsx). It is important to back up the Grades area frequently.
