Challenge

Technical Compatibility and Quality:

A key challenge is making sure that all integrations work well with LearnUpon’s platform. This involves meeting security and branding requirements, ensuring high performance through thorough testing, and maintaining quality control.

Managing Resource Allocation:

Balancing internal and external resources to handle the demands of building and maintaining integrations without affecting core product development.

Scalability of Integrations:

How Academy SMART Helped

Forming a Dedicated Team and Exploring the Documentation:

To support LearnUpon’s projects, we formed a dedicated team of back end and front end developers, QA engineer, and Project Manager. Our first step was diving deep into LearnUpon’s API documentation to understand the API’s capabilities and limitations. This thorough exploration ensured that our team could effectively integrate and extend LearnUpon’s platform.

Creation of an External Page to Capture Learner Credits Acquired Outside of LearnUpon:

Academy Smart was tasked with developing a solution to manage learner credits acquired outside of LearnUpon. This included:

Building the External Credit Form: We created a web form to capture learner credit information from external sources, integrated with a database for storage and management.

Implementing the Workflow: The form connects with an iPaaS solution via webhook, verifying user information, creating course enrollments, and recording credits. We also added functionality to capture survey responses when required.

Ensuring Automation: The integration was fully automated to remove manual tasks, improving the user experience and ensuring real-time data capture and reporting.

This solution provided the client with an efficient way to manage external credits, enhancing their LearnUpon experience. Our collaboration continues with ongoing support, system optimization, and integration updates as needed.

Automating User Group Management Based on Course Completion:

We automated the process of moving users into different groups after completing courses in LearnUpon. The solution involved:

Developing Middleware: Middleware was created to enable real-time communication between LearnUpon’s API and the custom solution, ensuring accurate data processing and updates.

Automating Group Assignments: Learners are automatically assigned to new groups based on course completion, using predefined mappings triggered by custom course data.

Managing Multiple Group Memberships: Users can be assigned to multiple groups, retaining previous memberships while adding new ones based on course progress.

Testing and Integration: A test account was used to verify statuses and memberships, with API keys and webhooks set up to ensure seamless automation.

This streamlined group management process improved efficiency and accurate user categorization based on course activities.

Ongoing Support and Optimization:

Academy Smart provides continuous support for LearnUpon’s integrations, ensuring smooth operation through regular updates, performance monitoring, and system improvements to meet evolving client needs.
