Will I be able to easily convert my WebCT classes to the new LMS?

Question:
I am considerably apprehensive about changing from WebCT to another LMS. I am, and have been for over 6 years, an avid user of WebCT. It takes a considerable amount of time to build a WebCT course. Will the new LMS you are proposing cause me to have to rebuild all my courses from scratch?

Answer:
We certainly hope not. With every change there will be difficulties and hurdles to overcome. However, we are going to insist, as a stipulation in the solicitation, that the new LMS vendor include conversion services or a conversion product in their bid. In addition, your Instructional Technologist will be on-hand to help you fix any portion of your course adversely affected by this change.
