In order to sync learner information back to you we will place a .csv file on to our SFTP server. You will be given your own login details for the server and your files will not be visible to any other parties.
You must collect the .csv file and then process it.
The Outbound sync process will take place every 24 hours and have the positive completion data for that period added to your SFTP within a CSV file using appropriately named files based on your chosen Data Sources and the date of data collection.
There are several types of data we can send you. We can format the column names to suit your internal needs, for the moment descriptors sit in their place. The .csv file will be made available daily by 5am. Each will be the title below plus the current date.
We will not delete previous days for a minimum of 28 days, should you need to look back. - We cannot combine backdated files.
Naming convention The file will be called SCORMYYYYMMDD, F2FYYYYMMDD, QuizYYYYMMDD, CompletionYYYYMMDD
Formatting The CSV will be be comma delimited. Values will be enclosed with “”.
Required Fields The CSV must always contain the following headers and values for learning
| username | uniqueid | Date |
Data Sources
You will need to select 2 Sources to be setup for output, any further required Sources may have additional costs
SCORM
SCORM data relates to the courses we provide as standard. They are the type uploaded by most organisations. This is likely the only option you will need.
We would recommend only having records for courses that are complete or passed (in the case of there being a test and pass mark).
If you want all records for the day we recommend that you take the attempt number so that you can reconcile the record in your system.
| SCORM Name | Sco Name | Status | Attempt Number | Score (If Applicable) |
Face to Face
Face to face records are those classroom sessions you may have on the system. We will send you changes that happen that day.
This could be an update to the attendance of the staff member booking on to a session.
You would need to reconcile the sessions ID in order to keep updating the record when the status changes.
| Face to Face Name | Session ID | Session Date | Status |
Moodle Quiz
Moodle quiz records are where you create tests inside of Moodle. These sit outside of SCORM modules and tests.
| Quiz Name | Attempt Number | Score | Status |
Moodle Course Completions
Moodle course completions tie together many different elements and report that the learner has completed something. This does not include additional information as this has been pre calculated internally and then given a simple status.
Although this may not seem useful, it is one way of combining all elements above in to one simple completion message, should all the items contribute towards the completion of the course.
| Course Name |
Pathway Completions
Learning Pathway completions allow for combined items to be brought together as a single learning object that you can measure against. These could be created using a combination of activities and courses.
| Pathway Name | Completion Date | Attempt |
All we will require to begin this is the confirmation of what data sources you wish to export: SCORM, Face to Face, Quiz, Course Completions, Pathway Completions, along with any required column headings and date formats.
