LMS Migration Plugin From WP Courseware® to AccessAlly™
We created this LMS migration plugin to help anyone who currently has courses set up in WP Courseware® and wants to import them into AccessAlly’s Course Wizard.
The plugin will convert modules and lessons into corresponding ones in AccessAlly, and you won’t lose your materials when you disable your WP Courseware plugin.
You can also undo your changes, if you wanted to make changes in your WP Courseware courses before switching to AccessAlly courses.
It’s important to note that this plugin does not import things like quizzes, assignments, certificates, etc. These will need to be re-created inside of AccessAlly.
This plugin also does not import or convert existing student data into AccessAlly’s format.
How the LMS Migration Process Works
Find out how the process works for migrating from one learning management system to another.
-
Install the migration plugin on your WP Courseware site
You’ll need to have an active license with WP Courseware and AccessAlly. From there, simply install the WordPress plugin and activate it. Then navigate to the converter page. -
Choose Which Courses to Migrate
You can migrate all courses, or pick and choose which courses you’d like to convert into AccessAlly courses. You’ll also see any “unassigned” lessons or content that were created in WP Courseware but that aren’t part of a course. You can convert those too. -
Convert to Standalone or Stage Release Courses
You decide how you want your courses to be permissioned in AccessAlly: as a standalone course, where everything is immediately unlocked. Or as a stage released course, where each module can be unlocked over time or on a schedule. You can also convert to regular WordPress pages. -
Edit Courses
Once the LMS migration is complete, you can navigate through AccessAlly’s Course Wizard to add course icons, create tags in your CRM, and test that everything is working. You’ll also need to re-create any quizzes, certificates, and assignments. -
Disable Plugins
If you’re happy with how everything looks in AccessAlly you can disable both the LMS migration plugin and WP Courseware plugins. But before you do, make sure to follow the member migration steps to make sure your members can access the new version of your courses.
Differences Between WP Courseware and AccessAlly Courses
WP Courseware includes a 3-tier course format: Courses, Lessons, and Topics.
With AccessAlly courses, the focus is not on the tiers (since you use regular WordPress pages, you get to decide how “deep” the course goes). Rather, the focus is on the access permission tags, and whether you want to release all course content at once, or “drip” it out slowly over time.
This plugin was not developed by the WP Courseware® team, and is maintained by the AccessAlly team. Any questions should be directed to AccessAlly.
Getting Started:

ਅਕਸਰ ਪੁੱਛੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਸਵਾਲ

Will this plugin convert WP Courseware’s custom post types?
-

-
Will this convert WP Courseware quizzes, assignments, and certificates into AccessAlly ones?
-
No, this plugin is solely to convert page content. It will not turn WP Courseware quizzes, assignments, certificates or other LMS specific content into the equivalent AccessAlly ones. You’ll need to re-create your quizzes and certificates, and set up new private notes for assignments.
-
Will my students automatically be converted into AccessAlly students?
-
No, this plugin only handles converting WP Courseware course content including modules, lessons, and topics into AccessAlly course equivalents. In order to convert your WordPress users from WP Courseware ones to AccessAlly ones, you’ll want to follow the member migration tutorial.

Will I need to send new passwords to members?

It’s quite likely when switching WordPress membership management plugin that you’ll need to send students a new password to login to your site.

Do I need another membership plugin to work with AccessAlly?
-
No. AccessAlly includes everything you need to run your courses, including the membership management and payment functionality on top of the LMS features.
-
Is it possible to revert from AccessAlly courses back to WP Courseware courses?
-
Yes, if you started with a WP Courseware course and used this plugin you’ll be able to convert an AccessAlly course back into a WP Courseware course. However, you can’t use this plugin to convert a new AccessAlly course into a WP Courseware course.
