Real time integration for course updates between Blackboard and Alma/Leganto
A real time integration between the VLE system Blackboard and Alma/Leganto would be beneficial to allow course information to be updated instantaneously within Alma/Leganto, without having to wait for the next course load to run.
Although APIs are available for creating and updating courses, these require local set up and resource. It would be beneficial if standard integrations could be developed for course updates directly between the most commonly used systems e.g. Blackboard, meaning that when a change is made to a course in the VLE this is then automatically reflected in Alma and Leganto.
This would also be useful for course creation. Although it is possible to enable courses to be automatically created when they don’t exist via the LTI, this still requires a manual step to be performed (in clicking on the LTI link). It would be helpful if the creation of new courses could also be automated via a real time integration.
