Third party content may be needed to support compliance and/or specialty training. Accessing the third-party content and reporting on completion metrics may be of interest. Generally, third party content integration with myLearning is supported, however, it may be complex and a heavy workload on the front-end. The process below outlines the collaborative steps and timeline for supporting these requests.
Responsible Party:
- Project Lead: A representative from the specific Johns Hopkins entity or department that serves as the liaison between the content vendor and Johns Hopkins. This also includes the myLearning System Administrator from the specific John Hopkins entity or department that will manage the learning content.
- LTI: Johns Hopkins Learning Technology and Innovation team.
- Vendor: Third party content vendor.
Step | Responsible Party | Timeline |
| 1. Initial Notification: Submit a ticket with the third-party content project scope, timeline, and technical documentation regarding LMS integration. | Project Lead | Beginning of project |
| 2. Determine Compatibility of Systems: Project Lead to coordinate and schedule a meeting with the vendor and LTI to confirm the compatibility of content and systems. This is needed to ensure that the vendor content will be able to integrate with our myLearning system. Project Lead should provide all applicable vendor technical documentation to LTI. | Project Lead and LTI | 5 business days |
| 3. Contractual Relations: Confirm that the integration of content into myLearning is permitted per the subscription deal and contractual agreement. | Project Lead | 5 business days |
| 4. Access to Content: Gain access to the content. This access can be via OneDrive or a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) shared site if applicable. Share the access information with LTI. | Project Lead | 5 business days |
| 5. Testing the Content Import: Test importing content into myLearning. After testing is complete, LTI will notify the Project Lead with any specific directions that differ from the normal myLearning upload of a learning resource process. | LTI | 5 business days |
| 6. Importing Content to myLearning: Following the Uploading Learning Content job aid and any specific directions that LTI provides, upload the imported content as a learning object. | Project Lead | Closeout project |
Maintenance of the third-party content is essential. The Project Lead should follow steps 4 and 6 for continual maintenance.
