LET’S GET STARTED
We’ll help you coordinate your integration by walking you through the process from start to finish. Our team will work with you and your IT group to get started, and we will be with you every step of the way.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our integration approach provides learners with the best possible Skillsoft experience within Oracle while minimizing the administrative effort required to get there. The integration leverages specific Oracle features to deliver the following key benefits:
Automated Content Management
Skillsoft synchronizes content information daily, so you always have access to the latest materials. This process can push all licensed content to Oracle or allow administrators to select content by collection, topic, language, or type, including courses, videos, books, labs, and more. Skillsoft’s role and skill-based pathways can also be included, enabling you to take advantage of our expert curation.
Learners discover the right content when they need it most, using search-optimized titles and descriptions. They further refine search results by adding Delivery Methods for each Skillsoft content type.
Skillsoft's microlearning videos are concise and designed to fit your learners' busy schedules. AI-driven personalization and role-based recommendations enable self-directed learners to develop high-demand skills and competencies needed today and tomorrow in AI, Data Science, Cloud Computing, Leadership, and many others. You may also leverage Skillsoft content to design customized learning paths in Oracle.
Content updates and retirement are also fully automated and occur in line. This dramatically reduces the administrative effort required to swap old assets for new content in assignments and learning programs. Finally, administrators receive notifications for these changes so that they can quickly react to new and retiring content.
Content Launch and Consumption
Modern learning experiences often leverage a range of technologies, including learning management systems, social platforms, portals, and more. Immediate, seamless access to Skillsoft from within Oracle or anywhere in your learning ecosystem is critical to driving adoption and usage. Accomplish this using single sign-on (SSO) and deep links, enabling learners to consume content from any system and on any device.
Tracking Learner Completion to Oracle
Measuring the success of your learning programs requires accurate data. Tracking all learning completions utilizing xAPI as part of the integration’s DNA. All Skillsoft content has active tracking of completions, assessment scores, and time invested by the learner. This means you can make Skillsoft content available for discovery in the Oracle platform, through your social platforms, talent tools, or wherever you want to bring learning closer to your people. The completion data flows into Oracle, where you can use the platform’s analytics tools to measure the impact of Skillsoft content on your programs. All activity data is backed up on our servers in case it is ever needed.
