Can we migrate course information and user completion records from a third-party training program to MangoApps LMS?
Yes, you can migrate course information and user completion records from a third-party training program to MangoApps LMS via SCORM packages. The migration process includes the following steps:
Course Migration:
Export SCORM course packages from your third-party provider.
Import the SCORM files into MangoApps, which creates the course and its content.
Update course details using the import course list option and publish the courses.
User Completion and Certification Records:
Use the Import User History option to assign users to the courses with their original enrollment dates.
If users have completed courses, import their historical completion records using the Import User History option with completion dates. This ensures that past training records appear in their transcripts.
Create and assign certificates for completed courses (certificates can be pre-created before the import).
Publish and, if necessary, archive migrated courses to maintain accurate training records.
For large-scale migrations, it is recommended to work with your Account Management Team for guidance on the best approach.
