eLibro Integration with LMS and Institutional Systems (interoperability · pilot · technical documentation)
Connect eLibro with your virtual campus and institutional systems: integration map, functional pilot and documented operation plan.
Your technical team designs and executes the integration of eLibro with the institutional LMS and other systems, documents the architecture, runs a functional pilot and establishes the testing and ongoing operation plan.
Problems it solves
- eLibro and the LMS operate as silos with no integration for the user.
- Fragmented access to digital resources with multiple logins.
- Lack of technical documentation of existing integrations.
- No testing plan or operation plan for new or existing integrations.
Results achieved
- Integration map: systems involved, protocols and data flows.
- Technical and governance decision matrix for the integration.
- Pilot ready and tested in the institution's environment.
- Documented testing, operation and maintenance plan.
Course structure
Typical integration architecture in educational institutions. Available protocols: LTI, SSO/SAML, OpenURL, REST APIs. Ecosystem diagnosis for each participating institution.
How to document an integration: components, flows, owners and dependencies. Workshop: building the integration map for each participant's use case. Technical decisions: authentication, data access and synchronization.
Integration configuration in the test environment. Guided workshop: first steps of the eLibro-LMS integration. Resolving common errors and configuration best practices.
Integration with other systems: institutional repository, integrated library system (ILS). Authentication, access and synchronization testing. Workshop: complete functional integration in the test environment.
Testing plan design: test cases, acceptance criteria and roles. Workshop: running the testing plan with the pilot. Documenting results and necessary adjustments.
Integration monitoring: metrics, alerts and periodic review. Operations manual: who does what when something fails. Continuity and escalation plan. Close with production implementation roadmap.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. This is the most technical course in the portfolio (Advanced level). Familiarity with systems administration, LMS and authentication concepts (SSO, LTI) is recommended.
The course covers the most common protocols and approaches (LTI, SAML, APIs). Applicability depends on each institution's specific LMS. Work is done with participants' real cases.
Integration map, decision matrix, pilot ready and tested, and documented testing and operation plan.
Library technical staff (IT, systems administrators) and coordinators who make decisions about digital infrastructure.
At least 6 hours to complete the pilot configuration and document the operation plan adapted to your institution.
