Connecting your institutional repository with your LMS offers a variety of benefits:

 Provides easy access for multiple users

EQUELLA's LMS integration allows users to contribute, search and select digital repository content from within the LMS. No need for faculty or course designers to change their workflow or processes.

Simultaneously integrates with multiple learning management systems

EQUELLA can be simultaneously integrated with several different LMS systems, so a single content item in EQUELLA can be accessed by people using different learning management systems. Store the content once. Share it anywhere you like.

Switching LMS with EQUELLA eases transition from one learning management system to another

For institutions planning or implementing a change of learning management system, EQUELLA provides a great transition vehicle for your learning content during the switchover. What's more, when your LMS migration is complete, you'll have all the functionality and benefits of a dedicated digital repository to create, store, and share content.

Improves content efficiencies

With EQUELLA, duplication of content is a thing of the past. No longer will the same piece of content reside across multiple courses, creating inefficiencies and version control nightmares. Store once, use many times with EQUELLA. Simple.

Push to LMS

Users can now choose to either contribute EQUELLA content to a course within the LMS, or can directly contribute resources into a Moodle or Blackboard Learn course without having to separately access the LMS. This enables users to push content to a course (or multiple courses) directly from EQUELLA. Users can actively sort by date, name, or course and edit the information tagged to an individual item as part of the process of pushing the content to the LMS.  Users also have the ability to push content to courses that are not currently live, manage external resources, and update items in bulk.

Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI)

LTI capabilities provides users with the opportunity to launch EQUELLA objects within the LMS, enabling deeper integration with LMSs that support LTI.  Users can embed any EQUELLA content into a compliant LTI consumer application, and can authenticate to any EQUELLA URL or resource.
