External learning module best practices

Description

To create a learning module, the administrator can use the POST /learning/modules  endpoint.

Instruction

The external module must be a single URL that points to the external learning resource.

Example:

{
“name”: “SMART goals”,
“description”: “This external training takes you through how to create SMART goals.”,
“completionTimeInDays”: 14,
“informSteps”: [
{
“type”: “Url”,
“name”: “SMART goals”,
“order”: 1,
“value”: “https://myLms.com/courses/1234”
}
],
“excludedFromCatalog”: true,
“externalId”: “1234”,
“type”: “External”
}

Description

To publish a learning module, the administrator can use the POST /api/v2/learning/modules/{moduleId}/publish endpoint.

Instruction

If you edit a learning module after publishing, then you must republish the module again for the updated version of the module to be assigned to the users. You can hide the modules from the catalog to prevent them from showing up in the list of modules when the supervisor assigns the learning modules via the Workspace Development pages.

Description

To assign a learning module, the administrator can use the POST /api/v2/learning/assignments endpoint.

Instruction

You can assign a specific version of a learning module to a user. The version of the learning module is only determined when the user starts the assignment. If a user has not started an assignment and a newer version of the module is published, then the latest version of the learning module is automatically assigned to the user.

Example:

{
“moduleId”: “2169a726-31e1-4d69-b161-1b62ccb1c99e”,
“userId”: “1e39d64f-68ff-41cc-8a2e-781cbce08409”,
“recommendedCompletionDate”: “2024-02-01T15:00:00Z”,
“lengthInMinutes”: “60”

}

Description

You can launch the learning module from Genesys Cloud. During the assignment launch, a cover screen with the module description and cover art is presented. 

Instruction

When you click to start the assignment, you are redirected to the URL in the module step that points to the external learning resource.

Description

To update the assignment, the external system must send the results of the learning resource to Genesys Cloud via the PATCH /api/v2/learning/modules/{moduleId}/users/{userId}/assignments endpoint. 

Instruction

This PATCH /api/v2/learning/modules/{moduleId}/users/{userId}/assignments endpoint is gated behind the learning:externalAssignment:edit permission that is not assigned to any roles by default. The endpoint always updates the latest assignment for that user and the learning module.

Example:

{
“state”: “Completed”,
“percentageScore”: 85,
“isPassed”: true
}
