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) |
| 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.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 flow back into your LMS gradebook automatically. LTI 1.3 is self-service. A workspace admin connects an LMS from Workspace settings → Integrations → LTI 1.3 in either of two ways:- Dynamic registration for LMSes that support it — generate a one-time URL in Exec and paste it into your LMS.
- Manual connection for LMSes that don’t — register Exec as an external tool in the LMS, then paste the platform details back into Exec.
