The Challenge of Scaling Course Updates

Your organization has valuable training content that's outdated, scattered across systems, or trapped in an aging LMS. You know it needs updating but the scale feels overwhelming.

Modernizing hundreds of courses using traditional development approaches would take years and cost millions. Meanwhile, your learners deserve better experiences, and your organization needs content that actually drives results.

There's a better way.

Transform entire course libraries all at once.

Using the proven KN Method, we modernize hundreds and thousands of legacy courses in the time and cost traditionally required for single development projects.

LMS Migration FAQ

1. How long does a typical LMS migration project take?

Migration timelines vary based on the number of courses and complexity, but KnowledgeNow's automated technology can complete projects in months rather than years. For example, Western University successfully migrated nearly 100 courses in just a few months to meet their fall semester deadline – a project that would have taken years using traditional manual migration methods.

2. What's the difference between automated migration and a traditional "data dump" approach?

Traditional data dump migrations move content in bulk but often leave courses in an unformatted state requiring months of manual cleanup work. KnowledgeNow's solution transfers all course elements while preserving the original design and functionality through intelligent automation. Videos embed automatically, links transfer correctly, and interactive elements maintain their original structure – resulting in courses that are immediately usable without extensive post-migration cleanup.

3. Will my quizzes and assessments transfer correctly?

Yes. Manual migration traditionally required inputting each quiz question individually – selecting correct answers, assigning point values, adding feedback, and saving each question separately. With some final exams containing hundreds of questions, a single quiz could take hours to recreate. KnowledgeNow's automation eliminates this time-intensive work, transferring quizzes automatically regardless of whether they contain 10 questions or hundreds.

4. Can you modernize our courses during the migration process?

Absolutely. KnowledgeNow's LMS Migration & Modernization Solution combines expert instructional design review with smart automation and responsible AI. The format and layout is improved and modernized to use in the new LMS similar to what it would look like if you started the course from scratch. This means you're not just moving content – you're upgrading the entire learning experience.

5. How do you ensure course quality and accessibility during migration?

The migration solution systematically transfers each course component while maintaining educational quality standards through expert instructional design review combined with smart automation. All courses are built to maintain accessibility compliance and instructional integrity, ensuring students experience consistent, reliable access to their learning materials.

6. What kind of time and cost savings can we expect?

The transformation is dramatic. Migration automation eliminates hours of manual work required for each course component, with quiz creation time reduced regardless of question volume. This efficiency enables institutions to handle their full course catalog scope rather than limiting themselves to a small subset of priority courses. The automation unlocks strategic possibilities that would be physically impossible with manual migration, allowing you to invest in improving courses rather than just making them work.
