System Integration

4ConsSystemIntegrationThere are many systems and many aspects to eLearning integration.

A good system integration strategy begins with identifying the desired information and outcomes.

Once this vision is complete, it becomes easier to identify what systems contain the desired information, and how it needs to look.

Next in the integration strategy, the development team must decide how frequently the information is going to be viewed, and therefore how often it needs updated.

In general, a nightly update is much less complicated and expensive to implement than a real-time update.

Other standard strategizing principles, such as stakeholder identification, risk management, and project planning need to play a part.

Integration can be so in-depth that it warrants its own project, separate from implementation projects.

eLearning integration can really add value to both the user experience and the initiative as a whole.

It can help to establish accountability through measurement, which leads to a high return-on-investment of the eLearning program.
