HOW DOES IT WORK?
Our integration approach provides learners the best possible Skillsoft experience within Saba while minimizing the administrative effort required to get there. The integration leverages specific Saba features to provide 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 Saba, or allow administrators to select content by collection, topic, language, or type, including courses, videos, books, labs and more. Skillsoft Channels and Journeys can also be included, enabling you to take advantage of Skillsoft’s expert curation.
Learners discover the right content when they need it most with the help of search-optimized titles and descriptions. They can further refine search results by using Delivery Types for each Skillsoft modality.
Skillsoft's expansive library of microlearning videos are concise and designed to fit into your learners' busy schedules. Pre-curated, role-based, and skill-based learning paths enable your self-directed people to prepare for the high-demand roles needed today and tomorrow by honing skills in agile development, data science, cloud computing, leadership, and many others. You can also use all of this Skillsoft content to design your own learning paths in Saba.
Content updates and content retirement are also fully automated and occur inline. This dramatically reduces the administrative effort required to swap old content for new in assignments and Saba Learning Paths. Finally, notifications for these changes are provided to administrators 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 content from within Saba, 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 Saba
Measuring the success of your learning programs requires accurate data. Tracking all learning completions utilizing the Saba Tracking Connector is part of the integration’s DNA. Skillsoft content has active tracking of completions, assessment score, and time invested by the learner. The integration supports the concept of “launch anywhere, track to Saba.” This means you can make Skillsoft content available for discovery in Saba, through your social platforms, talent tools, or wherever you want to bring learning closer to your people. The activity data flows into Saba, 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.
