Our LMS contract is ending. How do we move our courses quickly?

Upload your course packages to a site of your own, add your people from a spreadsheet, and give them their courses. Save your old records first, because past completions don’t come across.

Start your 14-day free trial5 seats, one site and 1 GB for 14 days. A card is needed, and nothing is charged unless you buy.

The problem

The LMS contract is ending, or the host is closing, and there’s a library of SCORM and xAPI courses and a list of people who still need them. Most new LMSs want a sales call and weeks of onboarding first.

What you need is somewhere the same packages play as they are, with your people added in bulk, running before the old one stops.

What people usually try

  • A large LMS with a long onboarding. It may fit later, but not in three weeks.
  • Putting the courses on a web server for now. They play, but nothing records who finished.
  • Extending the old contract. It buys time, at the old price.

How it works in TrioLMS

  1. Before the old LMS ends, export its completion records and certificates. TrioLMS doesn’t import past completions.
  2. Start your 14-day free trial, name your site, and give it your own address with the custom domain add-on if you want a link that lasts.
  3. Upload your SCORM, xAPI and cmi5 packages. Each is checked as it arrives, with a report of anything that may not play, and goes live when you approve it.
  4. Keep packages in your account’s course library and copy them into any site, if you run more than one.
  5. Add your people from a spreadsheet, with a preview of every change before anything happens, and put them in groups.
  6. Give each group its courses with a due date. Reminders go out by themselves, and the reports show who has finished.

What it doesn’t do

  • Past completions and certificates don’t come across. Learners start the moved courses afresh.
  • The trial has 1 GB of course storage. A larger library needs you to buy, which gives 10 GB, with more in 10 GB blocks.
  • Courses come across as packages. TrioLMS doesn’t convert or edit courses made in another tool.

What it costs

You pay TrioLMS monthly for your account, seats and storage, with no yearly contract. Work out the price for your library and your people in your currency.
