Hi We are in the middle of a procurement process for a new VLE. I am managing Data Conversion and Content Migration for this and I need to put together a draft project plan together with workpackages. At the moment most of our learning content sits in an in-house developed system where we have just over 2,500 modules which we will need to migrate these have at least 1 item attached. Content is not in SCORM packages most of the items are in a variety of formats e.g. docs, exl, gif, html etc. We don't know which VLE we will be going with but will hopefully try to map features and areas within our existing system with the new system. I have two questions: Firstly If anybody has been through a similar exercise would they be willing to share their project management process with me – or even better be willing to talk to me about how they went about things, in particular how to prepare. Secondly We may consider getting extra staff to help us with the physical task of actual migration, likewise has anybody else had experience of doing this and could they provide me with details of how many people, how long and how much it cost, the best time etc. - pitfalls Feel free to reply directly to myself rather than the list. And apologies if you see this in other JISCMail lists as I am directing it too as many people as I can. Many thanks Vicki ____________________________ Vicki Watkin Senior Educational Developer Educational Development Unit Nottingham Trent University Libraries & Learning Resources The Boots Library Goldsmith Street Nottingham NG1 5LS Telephone: 0115 941 2053 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list.
