Curriculum-to-LMS Migration Checklist

A checklist for turning curriculum documents into a working LMS structure that instructors can teach and administrators can monitor.

Best for

Academic directors, curriculum teams, instructors, and training providers.

Curriculum map

List outcomes for each course and module.
Connect each outcome to an assessment or evidence point.
Identify where rubrics or grading rules are missing.

LMS structure

Define module order, lesson formats, release rules, and completion states.
Separate student-facing instructions from instructor-only guidance.
Create naming rules for assignments, quizzes, and downloadable materials.

Instructor handoff

Document how grades, retakes, and late work are handled.
Train instructors on the exact course workflow they will use.
Schedule a post-launch review after the first cohort uses the course.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before using this guide

Can this begin with existing curriculum documents?

Yes. Existing syllabi, PDFs, rubrics, and instructor notes can be converted into a structured module map, assessment plan, and LMS course shell requirements.

Does INSIGHT build the LMS course shell too?

It can. The checklist can lead into Moodle, Canvas, or custom LMS course-shell buildout once outcomes, grading rules, and instructor handoff needs are clear.

Want the working version for your school?

INSIGHT can turn this checklist into a mapped workflow, implementation backlog, or staff-ready operating playbook.
