How do we migrate from LearnWorlds to Sensei LMS?

How the LearnWorlds → Sensei LMS migration works
- Scoping and fixed-price quoteWe catalog every course, lesson, quiz, and video in your LearnWorlds account and quote the migration up-front. Sign-off triggers the engagement.
- Provision LearnWorlds API credentialsYou generate a read-only API key in LearnWorlds (REST v2 + OAuth2). We use it to pull content without touching your live site.
- Extract content via APIWe fetch courses, lessons, quizzes, users, and enrollments through REST v2 + OAuth2 into a structured staging dataset, with integrity checks on every page.
- Transform to destination schemaWe map the LearnWorlds model to the Sensei LMS schema: lesson types, quiz question formats, user roles, and enrollment windows all preserved.
- Load into Sensei LMSContent is written to Sensei LMS (WordPress) with idempotent inserts. We re-run as often as needed against a staging environment until outputs match expectations exactly.
- Migrate and protect videoVideos are pulled from LearnWorlds's CDN, uploaded to your S3 bucket, served via CloudFront with signed cookies, and wired into the Sensei LMS player. Vimeo-equivalent protection without Vimeo.
- Verify and reconcileWe diff counts and spot-check content between source and destination. Any mismatch is fixed before sign-off. You get a written reconciliation report.
- Cutover and handoffWe do the production cutover in a maintenance window, flip DNS if needed, and hand off credentials. You own everything — no lock-in.
FAQ: LearnWorlds to Sensei LMS migration
Yes, they keep everything they've earned. Every enrollment, course, and piece of progress moves over with its original dates intact, so nothing is lost and no one has to start over. The one new step is signing in: because passwords can't safely transfer between platforms, each student sets a password the first time they visit, through a one-time link we email them at launch. Their courses are already there waiting for them, so they just pick a password and they're back in.
Everything that makes up your courses: the full course and lesson structure, your videos (moved to your own S3 storage), PDFs and downloads, quizzes and assessments, student accounts matched by email, and enrollment records with their original date ranges. We also set up and configure your video hosting and protection on S3 and CloudFront, so it's ready to serve students on day one.
Yes, fully. Question types, answer options, and scoring logic all transfer, and we map them onto your new platform's native quiz engine, whether that's LearnDash ProQuiz, LifterLMS quizzes, or Tutor LMS assessments. Your quizzes work the same way for students after the move.
Yes, and this is where a lot of migrations quietly fail. Thinkific treats a quiz as just another lesson in your curriculum, while LearnDash treats it as a separate item attached to a lesson. If a tool doesn't account for that difference, it drops your quizzes without warning. We map each quiz into the right spot so it keeps its original position in the course, exactly where students expect it.
Your quizzes themselves transfer completely. Individual students' past attempt history and lesson-by-lesson progress usually don't, and we'll be honest about why: reliably moving that historical data costs more than it's worth for most courses, and it's rarely looked at again after the switch. If you're in a compliance-regulated field where that history matters, we can migrate it on request and scope it into your quote.
