Moodle to edX

[Дмитрий Утробин]

Hello!

Does anyone use this module for converting moodle courses in edx courses? --> https://github.com/mitocw/moodle2edx

Thanks

When I run script I get this error:

Hello,
what is the line command to use to covert moodle course to edx with moodle2edx?

[Peter Pinch]

The documentation for moodle2edx is at https://github.com/mitocw/moodle2edx/blob/master/README.txt#L35

The code is unsupported and hasn’t been updated in some time.

Hey, right now i'm facing this situation.  did you managed to migrate the courses from moodle to openedx?

[Nate Aune]

We've had one customer migrate from Drupal to Open edX, and the way they did this was the following:

1) Export all of the course content from Drupal (the format could be SQL, CSV, XML, JSON - the idea is that you're normalizing it, so that a computer can read it)
2) Write a script to turn this content into OLX (the native format supported by Open edX - this script could be Python, Ruby, Java or whatever flavor you prefer)

3) Import the OLX directly into Open edX using the normal course import feature

The difficult part is #2, where you basically look at a course exported from Open edX with all the elements you want to support, and then map the content in your source course (Drupal or Moodle) into this destination format.

you can try that moodle2edx converter - it takes moodle exported course and creates olx version of it. 

it's not 100% accurate (far from it, actually) and requires some manual interventions after the import to Open edX, but does a decent job in most cases and reduces the amount of manual labor a lot.

our content creation department uses it heavily when migrating courses from moodle to edx. it is a great help 

[Nate Aune]

You might try this new tool from MIT called edxcut, which is a command line tool (CLI) that lets you inspect edX courses but also programmatically create them. Using this tool, I imagine that it wouldn't be too difficult to create a migration script from Moodle to edX.
