Export

Export is a term that usually refers to making a copy of a file or data in a different file format. In WebCT you can export Quiz statistics to a tab-delimited file. For example, in Manage Students, the download is actually an export function, putting the data into either a comma- or tab-delimited text (.txt) file.
