The 360Learning integration lets you:
- Browse Edflex contents (courses, videos, podcasts, articles and so on) on the 360Learning Homepage
- Search for Edflex contents as 360Learning courses within the 360Learning search page
- Synchronize learner activity directly in 360Learning (completion date, time spent, progress, first activity and last activity date). Statistics from Edflex content with the type "Program" are not synchronized.
- Use Edflex resources as 360Learning modules within learning paths
- View all details of an Edflex resource before being redirected to Edflex
Prerequisites
You will need:
- Prior request to 360Learning to activate the Edflex connector
- An Admin role on a 360Learning account
- Your Edflex API credentials (id + secret)
- Your organization's name on Edflex
1 - To have an Admin role on the 360Learning account of your company, you may need to ask a coworker with an Admin role to grant you Admin-level access. To do this, your coworker will need your email address, first name, and last name.
2 - To have your Edflex API credentials, you will need to contact your Edflex customer success manager. He will provide you with an id and a secret which may look something like this:
- client id: 273apigo0fgb8owogog0c00kkwocw4c8c55o66sowckw4s0c0k8oc0
- client secret: us52DrTBrYH3X1tWV7DXdGvvTDFnbgU5GtMGUm70QSbuKoVyItEc9sX
Keep those in a safe place and share them as little as possible. Also, if you want to do more integrations with Edflex, ask for new credentials every single time there's a new application you want to integrate with. Once pasted in the 360Learning connector settings, you will not be able to see the secret any longer (for safety reasons).
3 - Your organization name is easy to find. As an example, if you usually access Edflex through: https://mycompany-portal.edflex.com,
then your organization name is: mycompany-portal
Setup & Activation
- Email the 360Learning Customer Success Partner (CSP) or Solution Architect (SA) to request the activation of the Edflex connector on your 360Learning platform.
- Once the connector is enable you can set-up it on 360Learning, to do so. Sign in 360Learning
- Click on the Group name you want to set up the integration with
- Click on "Settings" behind the dots button on the next screen
- Go to "Integrations" > "Manage integrations" > "Browse"
- Select "Edflex" and follow the steps until you see this:
- Type the id, the secret and your organization name in the respective inputs.
Be careful with copy-paste, avoid copying the spaces before and after the credentials.
-
Check the "Enable skills synchronization" checkbox (recommended)
-
Click on setup connector
You're done!
Now, you should go to your 360Learning account and familiarize with your Edflex resource catalogue and fine-tune if needed.
Connector Details
Edflex Content Synchronization
Every day, at 8:00 AM Central European Time (UTC+1), the Edflex connector is launched to synchronize the Edflex content into your 360Learning platform.
Synchronized Edflex content is represented as 360Learning courses. They can be searched, filtered, and added to paths, group catalogs, and libraries.
By default, courses appear in a dedicated Edflex section in the catalog of the group where the connector is deployed. This section can be deleted.
Courses imported from Edflex cannot be modified or deleted in 360Learning. The only way to delete them is to deactivate the connector. Once the connector is deactivated, all imported content is archived. For this reason, it is better to deploy the connector on a dedicated group and then spread the desired content manually.
Categories Synchronization as 360Learning Tags
If you enable the tags synchronization, the Edflex connector adds Edflex content categories as tags to the synchronized courses in 360Learning. These tags are added to the 360Learning platform and can be used like any other tag.
Edflex Statistics Synchronization
Every day, at 8:20 AM Central European Time (UTC+1), the Edflex connector is launched to synchronize the Edflex statistics into your 360Learning platform.
Statistics from Edflex content with the type "Program" are not synchronized.
For each content, the following statistics are retrieved:
- Completion date
- First activity
- Last activity
-
Progress:
- 100 if the content is marked as "completed" in Edflex.
- 50 if the content is marked as "in progress" in Edflex.
- 0 otherwise.
-
Time spent, measured in milliseconds and applied only to the first recorded attempt.
- For in-progress attempts: Time spent equals the time spent received by Edflex.
- For completed attempts: Time spent is the smaller of two values: the time spent received from Edflex or the time between the first and last activities.
If a learner starts a course externally (without attempting in 360Learning) and does not finish it before the next connector synchronization, then an "opened attempt" is created on 360learning. This attempt will be closed when the learner has finished the external course and the next connector synchronization has run.
The following conditions must be met for Edflex statistics to be synchronized with your 360Learning platform:
- Users must be logged in Edflex when playing Edflex courses.
- Users must use the same email address on both Edflex and 360Learning.
The statistics about courses played on Edflex before the connector gets deployed on your 360Learning platform are retrieved.
Troubleshooting
If you are having any problems with the setup of this integration, please feel free to contact your Edflex customer success manager. If you don't know who to contact, ask the coworker who granted you 360Learning Admin access. He surely knows. If the coworker left the company, you can contact Edflex through the Chat.
To help you faster, please provide your Edflex customer success manager with the following:
- 360Learning Admin role
- API credentials (id + secret)
- A small recap on what you try to achieve and the steps you have been through
