Migrate from Moodle to Mobieus: courses plus community
Moodle gives you a capable LMS and a server to run forever. Here is how to move your courses into mobieusLearn, wrapped in a real community, and hand off the upkeep.
Why teams move
Moodle is a powerful learning management system, but the moment you install it, the maintenance is yours. Hosting, upgrades, plugins, and security patches all land on your team. mobieusLearn is hosted and maintained, so you focus on teaching instead of running a server.
Moodle is also courses in isolation. Mobieus wraps them in forums, chat, a help desk, and a marketplace so learners actually stay. And course payments run on your own Stripe at a 0% platform fee, with no payment plugin to wire up or maintain.
What moves from Moodle to Mobieus
Your community does not start over. Here is where each piece lands.
| From Moodle | To Mobieus |
|---|---|
| Moodle courses | mobieusLearn courses, structure intact |
| SCORM / xAPI | Native SCORM 1.2/2004 + xAPI |
| Quizzes + question bank | Native quizzes + question banks |
| Grades + completion | Gradebook + completion tracking |
| Certificates | Verifiable Open Badges |
| Users | Users with mobieusID SSO |

FAQ
Will my SCORM content work?
Yes. mobieusLearn runs SCORM 1.2 and 2004 plus xAPI, so packaged content imports and plays directly.
Do grades and completion survive?
You import learners with their enrollments and completion, and certificates reissue as Open Badges.
