Flagging a Course

You can flag a Course within your system to use the Ready LMS integration.

Start by selecting an existing Course you wish to manage within your system:

On the left, select the Admin heading, and then Integrations:

Click the Settings button under Ready LMS:

This will open the Ready LMS Integration Settingspage for this course.

Settings

This first area controls the ability to automatically push information into Ready LMS.

These items include:

• Enabled: Controls if the integration is active for this course. Toggling this item to 'off' will stop the regular updates of information from Ready LMS to this course
• Allow Export: Allows data to be sent to Ready LMS, including Course, Staff and Student details
• Auto push learners: IF set to off, Ready LMS will not automatically export any student as a user – or enrol any student into a course.

For information to update within Ready LMS, it is recommended that these items are set to ON for the integration to function.

Ready LMS Course Mappings

The next section displays information regarding the SMS course item to be associated with a Ready LMS course.

This area has two specific items, to configure:

• Course: Using the Ready LMS Link dropdown item you can specify if this SMS course item is to be linked to an existing Ready LMS Course item, or use Create New to action the creation of a new Ready LMS Course.
• Subjects/Units: Mapping at the subject/unit level means that this subject/unit has its own Ready LMS course. This allows users to create a single course per subject/unit in Ready LMS which can have their own differing sets of Ready LMS activities that need to be completed for the subject/unit to be marked as continuing/completed.

The far right column indicates the status of the course/subject/units status with Ready LMS. 

Resulting

The Resulting area controls how/when a party record will receive an outcome within your student management system, based on details retrieved from Ready LMS.

You have the option to select if a student must complete all activities within a Ready LMS course or a specific set of activities before the Unit/Subject receives an outcome.

• When Selecting 'Course Complete'
  • If selected a student must complete every Ready LMS activity in the linked course. If a student completes part of the course, the unit/subject will be marked with the Commenced outcome set in the resulting section (if configured).
  • If a student completes all of the activities and the Unit/Subject has either a blank outcome or an Updatable outcome the unit/subject will be updated with the Passed outcome 
• When Selecting 'Activities Complete'
  • If selected, the Ready LMS Activities column will allow you to select all listed gradable activities configured within the Ready LMS Course. You can then select which specific activities need to be completed within the Ready LMS Course for the Unit/Subject to obtain an outcome.
  • If a student completes part of the selected activities, the Unit/Subject will be marked with the Commenced outcome.
  • If a student completes all of the selected activities, and the Unit/Subject has a blank outcome - a Passed outcome will be applied.
