Migrate from LearnWorlds to Mobieus: courses plus community
LearnWorlds runs your courses well. What it does not give you is a community around them — no forums, no real-time chat, no help desk, no marketplace, and no way to sell on your own Stripe without platform fees taken from each transaction. This guide walks through how to bring your courses, learners, and certificates into mobieusLearn and wrap them in a community you actually own.
Why teams move
A standalone LMS leaves you to bolt on a community, a support inbox, and payments from other vendors. You end up paying for three or four tools, signing into all of them separately, and watching your members split across surfaces. Mobieus is all of it in one login: forums, real-time chat, a help desk, an LMS, a knowledge base, and a marketplace, on your own domain and branding.
The community layer in LearnWorlds is a thin add-on. Learner discussion lives apart from the course experience and never feels like a real community. Mobieus wraps your courses in forums, chat rooms, and a help desk that belong to the same platform.
Course payments on Mobieus run on your own Stripe account at a 0% platform fee. Mobieus does not take a cut of what you earn.
What moves from LearnWorlds to Mobieus
Your community does not start over. Here is where each piece lands.
| From LearnWorlds | Lands in Mobieus as |
|---|---|
| Courses and lessons | mobieusLearn courses, structure intact |
| SCORM / xAPI content | Native SCORM 1.2/2004 and xAPI |
| Learners and progress | Users with mobieusID single sign-on |
| Quizzes and question banks | Native quizzes and question banks |
| Certificates | Verifiable Open Badges |
| (no community) | Forums, chat, and a help desk |
The six-step migration
-
Export course content
Pull SCORM packages, video, PDFs, and your quiz banks out of LearnWorlds. Everything you have packaged as SCORM travels cleanly.
-
Rebuild in mobieusLearn
Recreate the course and lesson structure inside mobieusLearn, importing SCORM packages directly where you have them. Lessons, modules, and drip schedules map to the same concepts on the Mobieus side.
-
Move the learners
Import learner accounts or re-enroll them at cutover, signing in with mobieusID. One identity covers the community and every course — no separate login per product.
-
Reissue certificates
Turn completion certificates into verifiable Open Badges. Badges are portable and machine-verifiable, so your learners' credentials remain valid regardless of where they share them.
-
Wire up payments
Connect your own Stripe account and rebuild course memberships through mobieusGate at a 0% platform fee. Revenue goes directly to your Stripe — Mobieus is not in the payment chain.
-
Add the community
Open the forums, chat rooms, and help desk that turn a course catalog into a community. This step has no equivalent in LearnWorlds; it is what you gain by moving.

Frequently asked questions
Will my SCORM content work?
Yes. mobieusLearn runs SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 as well as xAPI, so packaged content imports and plays directly without conversion.
Do learners keep their progress?
You import learners and re-enroll them at cutover. Completion certificates reissue as Open Badges, so credentials stay verifiable after the move.
What does it cost?
Course sales require the Creator tier or above. You sell on your own Stripe and keep 100% at a 0% platform fee. See the pricing page for tier details, or use the fee calculator to see what your current platform takes per year.
