How to Access Courses, Modules, and Content from LMS Platforms with Unified's LMS API
Blog post from Unified.to
Unified's LMS API offers a standardized interface to access and manage course structures across various Learning Management System (LMS) platforms, addressing the challenges posed by the diverse ways these platforms model courses, modules, and content. The API provides a consistent object model that includes courses, classes, collections, and content, while allowing for provider-specific variations without imposing non-existent structures. By facilitating the retrieval of course catalogs, module hierarchies, and learning items, the API supports dynamic content structuring and syncing, despite the absence of webhook notifications for structural changes. This approach enables the creation of portable course browsers that function across different LMS platforms by leveraging polling-based synchronization and transparently reflecting provider-level support.
