Switch from Moodle to Skolasti - seamless, zero-downtime migration for coaches with INR-first payments, built-in video, AI tools, and no surprise fees.
You built your training empire on Moodle. You poured your expertise into online courses, nurtured students, and then… you hit a wall. Maybe updates broke a quiz the night before a launch. Maybe storage costs ballooned when you uploaded a full masterclass. Or maybe you realized the platform kept you in “maintenance mode” instead of letting you focus on growth.
If that hits home, this is for you. Let's take you on a clear, example-rich walk-through of why coaches switch, how migration can be painless, and - most importantly - how Skolasti makes that change the business move you’ve been waiting for.
The Pain Points: Why Coaches Consider Leaving
Imagine Priya, a yoga coach in Delhi. She runs live online classes and sells monthly subscriptions. One month, her video hosting limits force her to compress lessons and lose quality. Her students complain. Priya spends hours on hosting and plugin fixes, time she could have spent teaching.
Or Amit, a corporate trainer: he needs robust payment in INR, integrated scheduling, and simple attendance tracking across cohorts. Hooking multiple plugins together becomes a fragile tangle - one update, one broken connector, and a cohort’s reporting vanishes.
These are real coaching problems:
Technical complexity that steals time.
Hidden costs for storage, plugins, or server maintenance.
Downtime that hurts learner trust and revenue.
Fragmented tools that make operations clumsy.
The Promise: A Better Way to Switch - Without the Headaches
What if you could switch platforms without losing data, disrupting classes, or breaking the bank? What if migration meant moving forward, not merely copying your old system?
Skolasti offers exactly that: a coach-first, all-in-one coaching platform built to preserve what you have made and give you new tools to grow. Below, we explain how - and we use examples so you can picture the real-world benefits.
1. Why This Isn’t Just Another Switch - It’s an Upgrade
From system maintenance to business growth
With Skolasti, your daily routines change. Instead of babysitting servers, you run promos, build new cohorts, and analyze learner outcomes.
After migrating, Priya stopped spending weekends on hosting problems. She used Skolasti’s built-in scheduling and attendance tracking to automate recurrent classes and launched a paid 6-week course - priced in INR - using the integrated wallet. Result: more hours teaching, predictable income, and happier students.
Built for coaches, by design
Skolasti emphasizes the coach experience:
User-friendly UI/UX – dashboards that surface the next action, not buried settings.
Unlimited users & video uploads – scale worry-free. No surprise storage bills.
Made in Bharat, for the world – culturally aligned flows, INR-first payments, and localization where it matters.
You get tools that match coaching lifecycles: create, teach, assess, and monetize, without stitching a dozen add-ons together. It’s digital coaching made easy, designed to help you build and sell online courses and start your coaching business online with confidence.
2. The Skolasti Migration Promise - Seamless, Secure, Supported
Your data is migrated with care
We migrate users, courses, videos, assessments, and certificates using a secure, staged approach:
Discovery & mapping – identify course structure and data fields.
Test transfer – migrate a sample course for your review.
Full sync (background) – main migration runs while your live site stays active.
Final cutover – a last incremental sync and switch so nothing is lost.
Example: For Amit’s 500-learner cohort, Skolasti ran a test transfer of a representative course. After validation, the full migration proceeded in the background. Learners kept attending; reports matched; the final cutover was an exact match - no surprises.
Compliance & data sovereignty
Skolasti supports KSA-based cloud hosting (STC, Oracle, Azure) or on-premise deployments. That means control over where student data lives - a big reassurance for organizations with regional compliance needs.
Zero-downtime migration & transparent fees
Because migration happens in the background and cutovers are incremental, your classes don’t stop. And unlike systems with hidden plugins or hosting fees, Skolasti’s migration support is transparent - no surprise invoices after go-live.
3. A step-by-step onboarding journey
Skolasti’s onboarding is hands-on: guided setup, admin training, and a success checklist. You get support migrating content, configuring payments (INR-first if you like), and training teachers on the new dashboard.
Timeline (process, not duration): discovery → sample migrate → admin training → trial with learners → cutover → post-migration support.
Familiar structure, more power
Your course modules and students transfer intact. Then you unlock Skolasti’s built-in advantages:
In-app video calls – run live sessions without Zoom or Meet.
Built-in scheduling & reminders – fewer no-shows.
Attendance tracking & analytics – actionable insight on completion rates.
This is how modern online coaching platforms should feel - intuitive, complete, and stress-free.
The admin dashboard of your dreams
View teachers, classes, finances, and reports from a single screen. For coaches running groups across time zones and languages, that clarity is priceless.
This isn’t just how to make an online class - it’s how to create your own course platform that runs like a business.
4. Beyond Migration - Unleashing Your Coaching Potential
AI that helps you teach better
The AI course assistant suggests structures, enriches content, and helps draft assessment items. Not creating a course from scratch? The assistant still speeds up revisions and helps you create and sell courses online more efficiently.
Monetization & reach
Use subscriptions, premium masterclasses, certifications, and digital products to diversify revenue. An example? A fitness coach sells a recorded 12-week program, a live premium bootcamp, and a monthly subscription - all managed through Skolasti’s wallet and payment flows in INR and other currencies.
Engagement tools that work
Gamification, leaderboards, and 100+ AI languages help you motivate learners and scale internationally. Analytics help decide whether to add a masterclass or tweak a module for better completion.
5. Straight Talk - What You Need to Know
We’re transparent about limitations so you can decide confidently.
Current limitations:
No dedicated mobile application yet.
Community features are limited.
Assessments are currently focused on MCQs.
AI-based course creation (full auto-create) is not available.
SCORM import is not supported today.
Why does this matter? If you rely on SCORM packages or need a mobile app today, you’ll want to weigh options. Skolasti mitigates these with strong web responsiveness, in-app features, and an active roadmap - mobile app and expanded assessments are on the product plan, guided by coach feedback.
