Migrating to Moodle
Motherwell College Experience Report
A little about us...
 New 72 Million Pound Campus opened 2009

 Over 500 staff supporting 20,000 students

 Further / Higher education / Enterprise hub
Why Moodle?
 Started out with Blackboard

 Growing eLearning market

 After a strategic review Moodle was selected

 Benefits
      Open Source

      Flexible

      Allow the College to grow and to shape eLearning
Challenges identified...
 Change management – technology, usability etc

 Staff training

 Existing data structures

 Existing content

 Choosing a technology partner...
Choosing a supplier...
 Competitive tender with Moodle partners & non-partners

 Cost effective & high quality
      Proven track record

      Wide reach

 Outsourced solution
      Hosting

      Ongoing support

      Complex content migration

      Enovation ticked all the right boxes
Approach...
 Trial migration

 Iterative process: migrate, tweak, re-migrate

 500+ courses migrated

 Live in August 2011
Lessons learned...
 Prepare content for migration
      Bad source data = bad target data

 Realistic expectations
      Different structures: BB / Moodle

      Some content will look different

      Not 100% perfect

 Plan for delays
      Trial can take longer depending on course complexity

      Allow time to extract / obtain source content

      Allow enough time for test and data clean-up in new environment
Now...
 Very good 1st year experience
      Excellent support performance

 Building for the future with Enovation
      Moodle 2 and onwards...
