From an LMS Course You Keep Patching to a Course You Can Maintain

Transition guide

Don’t rebuild your course from scratch. Find out what’s actually in it first.

Upload an instructor-owned course export, inventory the course, identify accessibility and quiz issues, compare it with the course you want to teach, and build a reviewable modernization plan.

The course works. That does not mean anyone knows what is in it.

A long-running LMS course is archaeology: pages from three redesigns ago, links into publisher platforms you may be leaving, PDFs of scanned handouts, duplicate question banks, images with no alt text, and years of patches by multiple hands. It runs — but nobody can say precisely what it contains, which parts still match what you teach, or what breaks if you touch it.

Inventory before generation

The first step is not generating anything. It is reading what you already have:

• Modules, pages, and resources — what exists and how it is organized.
• Quizzes and question banks, where the export format makes them readable.
• Files, links, and probable source formats — including what won’t survive a migration.
• A privacy preflight before any model-assisted analysis runs.

Instructor-owned course exports only — course structure and materials, not student records.

Accessibility review as a first-class deliverable

The audit surfaces the accessibility debt a hand-built course accumulates, ranked so you can work down a prioritized worklist rather than an undifferentiated pile:

• Images missing alt text.
• Links whose text doesn’t say where they go.
• Heading and table structure problems, where detectable.
• Attachments likely to fail assistive technology.

Quiz and question review

Assessment is where quiet drift does the most damage. The review covers:

• Quiz structure — what actually assembles and runs.
• Empty, broken, or suspicious items.
• Alignment against your revised course map.
• Questions made stale by concepts you removed or resequenced.
• Accessible alternatives, prepared for instructor review.

Compare the course you have with the course you want

Bring your syllabus or course map alongside the export, and the comparison becomes concrete: what to keep, what to move, what to replace, what to add, and what needs human review. Repair is additive — staged replacement objects and reconciliation notes, previewed and approved by you. Nothing rewrites a live course behind your back.

From audit to a maintained course

The audit feeds CourseHouse: retain the content that earned its place, replace what depends on materials you are leaving, attach the reader, update slides, align homework and quizzes to the course map — and return the result to the LMS your institution already runs. Keep the LMS. Modernize the course inside it.

Get semester-ready in one purchase

The $99 Course Prep Package is a semester modernization package: bring your syllabus, old slides, and LMS export. It covers course review, an accessibility worklist, course-map alignment, updated lecture materials, and matching homework with answer keys — plus generation capacity (up to 2,000 editable slides) and six months to keep refining.

One purchase for the transition — not another recurring authoring seat.
