Overview
If your organization subscribes to OpenSesame, you can connect that subscription to your Rockstar Learning Platform site. Once connected, the OpenSesame courses available to your account are synchronised into the platform and appear alongside your own content, so you can add them to courses, assign them to learner groups, and report on learner completions in the same place as everything else.
Before you begin
- You need an active OpenSesame account with content available to it.
- Content is purchased in OpenSesame, not in the Rockstar Learning Platform. The platform links out to OpenSesame for browsing and purchasing; it does not sell OpenSesame content on OpenSesame's behalf.
- You do not need to enter an OpenSesame Client ID or Client Secret. [PM: confirm how a customer gets connected: whether ELB Learning sets up the connection and credentials with OpenSesame on the customer's behalf, and what the customer needs to request or provide.]
Connecting your OpenSesame account
- Sign in as an administrator and go to Settings.
- Open the Subscriptions section and locate OpenSesame.
- Choose Integrate with OpenSesame. A dialog opens with the OpenSesame logo. You are not asked for an OpenSesame Client ID or Client Secret.
- Complete the dialog and save. [PM: confirm what, if anything, the admin enters here (the staging dialog still shows a Client Integration ID field) and whether ELB Learning completes this step for the customer.]
- Once connected, OpenSesame is listed in Subscription Settings with its expiration date.
Where OpenSesame content appears
Subscriptions tab
After the integration is complete, your OpenSesame library and its modules appear under the Subscriptions tab of the Content page, organised using OpenSesame's own categories. Category folders do not carry thumbnail images; individual modules do. Each module's details page shows its duration.
My Library
OpenSesame modules are listed in My Library with their thumbnails, and can be narrowed to using the provider filter.
Learner portal
OpenSesame content plays in the learner portal like any other module. Thumbnails appear on the dashboard and the course page, and the module type is shown in the learner view.
Working with OpenSesame content
- Add OpenSesame modules to courses the same way you add your own. See How to Add a Module to a Course.
- Assign learner groups, tags and presenters, including through module batch editing. See Edit Multiple Modules at a Time with Module Batch Editors.
- OpenSesame content stays in sync automatically. New courses added to your OpenSesame account, and changes to the details of existing courses, are brought across without a manual import.
Reporting on OpenSesame content
OpenSesame modules appear in Interactive Reports and in the Enrollment Course, Module and By Due Date reports, with the OpenSesame module-type icon shown in the module column. Interactive Reports capture questions, attempts, scores and manual completions for OpenSesame modules, and Learner Activity also works with OpenSesame modules.
Where an admin has manually completed an OpenSesame module for a learner, the status is recorded as Modified rather than Passed, which distinguishes it from a completion the learner earned.
