Moving between Learning Management Systems can be challenging for students and faculty. Impact by Instructure is here to make these transitions as easy as possible by tracking the onboarding process and guiding the offboarding of users by providing in-app communication and support at the moment of need.
Measure Onboarding
Stay on top of exactly which courses and instructors have migrated to your new tools by getting real-time information on where your users are within the onboarding process and see if your users are successfully accessing tools in your new LMS.
Adoption Campaigns
Measure training success and focus efforts where they matter most. Your Impact dashboard can reveal the impact of your training and communication efforts on actual usage by comparing the activity level of the participants before and after the event(s). This allows you to focus your time and resources on the methods that work best.
In-App Messaging
Place messages anywhere within your LMS to communicate effectively with Faculty and Students. With Impact messaging, you can proactively address changes, promote functionality or reinforce key capabilities where it is relevant in the system.
Self-Service Support
Access contextual and role-sensitive help items and escalate support requests right from within the LMS. The Impact Support Center can provide faculty and students with relevant, context-sensitive help at the moment of need within the LMS and easily escalate tickets to the right team at your institution.
Our wonderful content team has some great, out-of-the-box campaigns that contain not only great messaging pointing out helpful and important information, but increased support, and tool monitors. Our current LMS migration offerings are outlined below and can be located inside your Impact Dashboard under Campaigns and Templates. For help launching a campaign, check out this quick video!

Migrating to Blackboard Ultra in the near future?
Please follow these steps to help ensure that Impact is operational in your new learning environment!
- Plan for staging migration
- Raise a ticket* with us by informing the support team that you are planning to migrate. Our support team will send you the setup instructions along with all the parameters to set in your LMS.
- Once you complete the setup, please inform the support team so they can finalize your configuration. You can do this by commenting on your original ticket OR submitting a new ticket.
- Once support makes required changes in the backend, it is time to get your In-Line editor working in your new Ultra environment. This involves a few extra steps. You will need to connect to staging and disconnect to connect to production. Watch a video of this process here! Your staging environment is now successfully configured!
- Once you decide to migrate your Production instance you will need to follow the same setup instructions along with the parameters mentioned for production in the original email from support and inform support once this is done to make the final configurations in the backend.
