Integration Types
Exec supports three levels of LMS integration, depending on how deeply you want Exec embedded into your learning workflows.| Integration Type | What It Does | Setup Complexity | Data Flow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Link or Button | Launches Exec from within your LMS as a link or button in a course or learning path | Simple | One-way (LMS to Exec) |
| iFrame Embed | Embeds the Exec experience directly within your LMS interface | Simple | One-way (LMS to Exec) |
| LTI 1.3 | Full integration with single sign-on and grade passback into your LMS | Moderate | Two-way (LMS to Exec, Exec to LMS) |
Link or Button
The simplest way to connect Exec with your LMS. Your LMS admin adds a link or button to a course, learning path, or module that opens Exec in a new tab. Learners click through to access their assigned roleplays directly. This is ideal for organizations that want to get up and running quickly without any technical configuration. Your team reviews performance and completion data within the Exec platform. What you need: A URL to your Exec workspace, which your Exec account representative will provide.iFrame Embed
For organizations that want a more seamless experience, Exec can be embedded directly within your LMS using an iFrame. Learners interact with Exec without leaving the LMS interface, keeping everything in one place. Availability depends on your LMS platform’s iFrame support and security settings. Your Exec account representative can help determine compatibility and provide the configuration details. What you need: iFrame support in your LMS. Your Exec representative will provide the embed URL and any required configuration parameters.LTI 1.3
For organizations that need a fully integrated experience, Exec supports the LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) 1.3 standard. LTI enables single sign-on from your LMS into Exec and supports grade passback, so completion and performance data can flow back into your LMS gradebook or reporting. LTI 1.3 setup requires coordination between your IT team and Exec. Contact your Exec account representative to scope the integration for your specific LMS environment. What you need: An LMS that supports LTI 1.3. Contact your Exec account representative to get started.How to Choose
