Vocalmeet: Step by Step Guide for your LMS Migration Process
Create a Realistic Timeline
First, make a realistic timeline you can follow throughout the process. It should also be practical, achievable, and time bound. You can make a Gantt chart for efficient visualization for you and your team.
Mapping of your Data and Features
While migrating to a new LMS platform, map the data and features in your existing LMS, you need to shift since each platform's structure, and logic is different. You'll quickly identify features and data in your current LMS and how they would be displayed in a new one. This step may take a bit longer as each feature would require modifications in its configuration settings.
Data Cleaning
Ensure you clean up data properly from existing LMS. However, you only have to move what you'll need, as migrating everything can become costly and lead to further complications and troubleshoots. You must ensure you've backed up your data in your storage device.
Movement of Data
After cleaning up, your data is ready to be migrated to a new LMS. Ensure you organize it into logical categories, as you can't migrate your data simultaneously. There should be an order in your migration process. Your first batch should include information that would need to be installed to migrate the remaining data categories, then step by step; all categories will be migrated to the new LMS platform.
Pilot Run and Quality Check
Before the migration, create a prototype of your LMS with the new functionalities. Then test and check for errors by running different courses on a new platform. After successful pilot testing and you've fixed all possible errors, migrate the LMS data entirely to the new LMS. Conduct a quality check of all features to make sure all goals you have set before the migration to ensure all features are working correctly.
Train the Admins and End-users
LMS migration doesn't end with software. After migration, ensure you train your admins, end-users, and other stakeholders. It will translate to the best performance of LMS as all personnel will follow the best practices.
