Hi there
I would agree with Roger. When we migrated from Learnwise Olympus to
Moodle we took it as an opportunity to do a large scale tidy up of tired
and redundant materials.
I tried the import as Scorm, but found that we ended up with chunks of
materials that would be difficult for the average tutor to maintain in
the long run and that did not take advantage of the nice Moodle
interface and thus took the stance that slightly more effort at the
beginning would reap greater rewards than the quick import fix.
Good luck

If it is possible to export Bb as a SCORM course then Moodle will import
SCORM courses. I have sucessfully tried exporting from a course as SCORM
from Learnwise and it imported fine into Moodle as SCORM...except this
is
only the content and not all the forums, or collaboration data or
quizzess
or anything bespoke to the system not SCORM compliant. It will also
leave
you with a course that is kind of stand alone object in that you won't
be
able to insert moodle activities into it.
What may also be worth considering is what are you actually trying to
migrate? and why are you trying to migrate it?
Isn't this an opportunity to take a look at what you have and how you
may
be constrained by your current system and how the IT may have dictated
what you have done? Then look at how you want to deliver the
course/unit/module to fit your teaching and learning requirement and see
if the system can help to enable your *online learning*?
If it is just a case of moving what I would call *online reading*
(ppts,
docs etc) from one content delivery system to another then what is the
point? (other than the cost saving of the licence fee)
I would see the inability to move courses en-mass from one system to
another as an opportunity for padagogic improvement, not a technical
headache.
