Manage and Deploy Content in an LMS/LXP

Depending on your contract with Skillsoft, you might have up to two different groups of content:

  • Skillsoft content: This includes content from Business, Technology & Developer, Leadership development, and Compliance Suite collections.
  • Skillsoft Compliance 1.0 content: This includes content from the Legal and Environmental, Safety & Health collections that are stored in the Compliance interface of Percipio. This is an older solution. See you Skillsoft account team to migrate to Compliance Suite.

When integrating content with your system, you can choose which content you want to deploy, the initial deployment method, and how best to keep the deployment in sync with the regular content updates Skillsoft provides.

What content you deploy and how you deploy it is largely dependent on two things: capabilities of the system you are integrating with and your content management strategy.

Content Integration Approaches

Percipio provides two content integration approaches depending on which system you want to integrate with and the content you have:

  • Connector Integration: Use this method if you want to integrate Skillsoft content on your instance of 360Learning, Cornerstone, Degreed, LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Viva, Moodle, Oracle, Saba, SAP SuccessFactors, SumTotal, Totara, or Workday.
  • Content integration: Use this method if you have any other LMS, another system such as SharePoint, or want to integrate Skillsoft Compliance 1.0 content.
Compliance Note: To deploy Skillsoft Compliance 1.0 content, see Managing and Deploying Compliance 1.0 content in your LMS/LXP, otherwise you can integrate Compliance Suite content like you do other Skillsoft content.

Content Integration for Skillsoft Content

Review the deployment options available for Skillsoft content and follow the actions outlined:

With any other system you can choose to deploy one of the following options:

  • Deploy all Skillsoft supported content via FTP: Receive an AICC zip file that contains all supported content from all your Skillsoft collections. Deploy from an FTP site.
    • Action: Work with your Skillsoft account team.
Note: Some systems that only support AICC files are smaller and may not be able to support a large AICC file as would get generated by a full content export. Check your system's guidelines for importing AICC files.
Note: AICC supports courses, books, audiobooks, TestPreps, and labs with limited support for channels and journeys. For more information on supported content types, see Content Types Supported for Content Integration Customers.

Before making your selection, review Content Types Supported for Content Integration Customers to see which content types can be launched and tracked in your LMS.
