3 Integrations That Can Enhance the Learning Process
Registration software can help corral the back-end details and data entry of organizing classes, events, and programs—making the process more efficient. But registration software on its own can only go so far. To truly streamline the entire sign-up process, your registration software is only as good as the other platforms it talks to and shares information with.
Three key integrations—video conferencing, learning management systems, and single sign on—can take your registration platform from simply functional to truly capable.
Video Conferencing Integration
Hybrid and virtual events are no longer just a stop-gap solution, they’re here to stay. The flexibility they provide in attendance can be a game-changer for working professionals and other busy participants, allowing them to fit important events and courses into their schedule. By being able to integrate with video conference platforms like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, or GoToWebinar, a registration platform like Learning Stream can help you streamline communication and automate scheduling.
With a video conferencing integration, your registration platform collects key details like unique attendance links, security information, and meeting IDs, and uses those details to populate confirmation emails, reminders, and updates. And just like an in-person event, this integration means you can track any necessary data all the way from initial signup to continuing education credit progress, certificates of completion, instructor evaluations, and official reports.
Learning Management Systems Integration
A connection between registration and your chosen learning management system (LMS)—like this one for Canvas—is perhaps the most important connection in the sign-up process. This integration allows for a seamless transition from an initial signup to the event or course itself. All the participant details provided in registration need to flow directly into your LMS, giving participants immediate access to course materials, assessments, and other progress tracking tools.
A major benefit of an LMS integration is a positive user experience. Participants should have an uninterrupted journey from registration to course completion, without needing to switch back and forth between platforms or log in multiple times. The smoother the process, the more likely they will be able to complete their course (and even recommend it to others). A positive customer experience goes a long way.
Single Sign On Integration
When you’re handling multiple software systems and platforms, managing multiple login credentials is often one of the biggest challenges. A single sign on (SSO) integration solves this challenge by allowing your participants to access your registration software, LMS, video conferencing system, and any other integrated platform with a single set of login credentials.
SSO is not only far more user-friendly (avoiding the back-and-forth log in and log out mess), it’s also more secure. This type of integration typically allows for enhanced security measures like multi-factor authentication, stronger password policies, and stringent access controls.
Integrations like these can transform a simple registration tool into a powerful solution capable of managing every aspect of the learning process. Learning Stream offers these integrations and more to streamline the entire learning process and enhance user experience along the way.
