Changing an LMS is not only a file transfer. A university must preserve courses, accounts, enrollments, assessments, permissions, and working habits.
The migration is also an opportunity to connect courses, students, and assessments in a clearer route. Document current friction before comparing products.
A pilot with representative courses validates access, assignments, grades, and communication before rollout.
What a good LMS should really cover
- Inventory courses, users, and assessments
- Define the target structure
- Test student access and roles
- Pilot with real courses
- Plan transition support
- Validate integrations and export
