Taming the Data Beast: Handling Complex Course Structures

Migrating a learning management system involves more than just moving files. Complex course structures, with multi-level courses and nested lessons, demand careful handling. The EduDash LMS – Migration Add-On is engineered to preserve the integrity of your original course design. It understands hierarchical relationships between courses, lessons, topics, and quizzes.

Expect that custom-built components will require a manual migration and, potentially, code-level adaptations.
