Integration Strategy for Synchronizing Yii2 LMS with WPLMS for Enhanced SCORM Support

[espariha]

Greetings WPLMS Community and Support,

We are at a crucial juncture in enhancing our learning management solutions to cater to a broader audience. Our platform, built on the Yii2 framework, is designed to provide a comprehensive and engaging learning experience. However, we've identified a gap in our capability to offer SCORM-based courses, which are increasingly demanded by our clientele.

To bridge this gap, we've integrated WPLMS into our solution architecture. WPLMS's proven proficiency in handling SCORM content makes it an ideal partner in this endeavor. The integration's first phase, facilitating seamless user redirection from our Yii2 LMS to WPLMS, has been successfully implemented. Our users can now access SCORM content in WPLMS without hassle.

The challenge we're currently facing revolves around ensuring a two-way synchronization of user data between our Yii2 application and WPLMS. This includes but is not limited to syncing usernames, tracking course progress, updating training statuses, and transferring assessment results.

Our objective is to ensure that users have a unified experience, where their interactions with SCORM content in WPLMS are reflected in their profiles on our Yii2 LMS. To achieve this, we seek guidance on the following:

1. User Authentication and Single Sign-On (SSO): Strategies for authenticating users in WPLMS via redirection from our Yii2 app, ideally without requiring them to log in again.
2. Data Synchronization: Recommendations on syncing user progress and achievements from WPLMS back to our Yii2 app. We are particularly interested in APIs, webhooks, or any other mechanisms that WPLMS supports for this purpose.
3. Best Practices: Any insights into best practices, potential pitfalls to avoid, or considerations for maintaining data integrity and security during this integration process.

We are committed to providing an exceptional learning experience and believe that this integration is a step forward in that direction. Any assistance, documentation, or examples you could provide would be invaluable to us as we navigate this integration.

Thank you for your support and looking forward to your guidance.
