Modernise Your Digital Campus in Weeks, Not Years
Mars Innovation Technology migrates legacy LMS platforms, integrates adaptive learning and AI-powered content, and builds the cloud infrastructure for modern educational technology — fixed price, without disrupting live courses.
Migrates legacy LMS content (SCORM, xAPI, AICC) to a modern cloud-native platform without data loss.
Integrates adaptive learning engines and AI content recommendation alongside your existing LMS.
Reduces LMS operating costs by 30–60% by moving from on-premise to cloud infrastructure.
Fixed price, fixed scope. 8–14 weeks depending on content library size and integration complexity.
Legacy LMS Platforms Are Holding Your Learners and Your IT Team Back
On-premise Moodle, Blackboard, and first-generation Canvas deployments were designed for a different era. They require expensive hardware refreshes, manual security patching, and IT teams with specialist knowledge just to keep the lights on — all while delivering a user experience that looks dated compared to consumer applications students use daily.
The content migration problem is real. Thousands of SCORM packages, video files, discussion forums, and grade books must survive the migration intact. Most LMS migrations fail not in the technology but in the content — courses lost, grades corrupted, or learner data orphaned. Our structured migration methodology has a 100% content fidelity track record.
On-premise LMS requires 3-month server refresh cycles and specialist maintenance staff.
Mobile experience is poor — students drop off from courses started on desktop.
SCORM content library contains thousands of packages that must be validated post-migration.
No adaptive learning — all students receive identical content regardless of performance.
LTI tool integrations break on every platform upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EdTech Modernization Launchpad?
It is a fixed-price engagement that migrates your legacy on-premise LMS to a modern cloud platform, validates all SCORM and xAPI content, integrates adaptive learning, and delivers AI-powered content recommendations in 8–12 weeks.
Which LMS platforms can you migrate from?
We migrate from Moodle (all versions), Blackboard Learn, D2L Brightspace, legacy Canvas, Sakai, and custom homegrown LMS systems to modern cloud deployments of Canvas, Moodle Cloud, Brightspace SaaS, or Absorb LMS.
How do you handle SCORM content migration?
We run automated SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 validation against each package, migrate completion and score data from your existing LMS gradebook, and verify that every package launches correctly in the new environment before cutover. We maintain a content fidelity report for every course migrated.
What is adaptive learning and how does it integrate?
Adaptive learning systems personalise the content path and pace for each learner based on performance data. We integrate platforms such as Area9 Rhapsode, Smart Sparrow, or custom ML-based adaptive engines via LTI 1.3 — without requiring you to rebuild your existing content.
Can you migrate learner history and grade data?
Yes. We extract, transform and load completion records, grade book entries, discussion participation, and assignment submission histories into the new platform. We validate a sample of learner records before and after migration to confirm accuracy.
How do you ensure zero downtime during cutover?
We run a parallel period where both platforms are live. Learners are migrated in cohorts (e.g., by term intake) rather than all at once. The old platform remains read-only until the final cohort cutover is confirmed, then it is decommissioned.
What happens to our LTI integrations?
All LTI 1.1 tools are migrated to LTI 1.3 (the current standard) and re-validated against your tool providers. We work with your Turnitin, Kaltura, Panopto, Respondus, and virtual lab vendors to complete the migration of their tool configurations.
What does the Managed tier include?
Managed EdTech operations covers monthly platform patching and security updates, LTI tool reconfiguration when providers update their platforms, content ingest support for new course uploads, and a quarterly performance and usage review.
