Understanding Genius Class LMS Integrations and Sync Schedules

Genius integrates with many leading Learning Management Systems, and each integration is designed to help your team manage courses, users, and data with as little manual effort as possible. This article explains which LMSs Genius connects to, how often information is exchanged, and what triggers updates.

Supported LMS Integrations

Genius currently integrates with the following LMS platforms:

• Buzz
• Canvas
• Blackboard
• D2L Brightspace
• Moodle
• OpenLMS
• Edmentum
• Odysseyware
• Apex

Each integration supports slightly different capabilities based on the LMS, but all of them allow Genius to send and receive key learning data.

How Genius Receives Information from the LMS

Genius collects updates from your LMS, including:

• Grades
• Activities
• Teacher feedback

This process usually runs once per day. The actual schedule depends on:

• The LMS being used
• Client configuration and preferences
• The size or scale of the operation
• How long the LMS download takes for your environment

Your sync schedule can be adjusted during setup if your organization requires a different frequency. To do this our development team will need to be involved, so please create a ticket and we will take care of it.

How Genius Sends Information to the LMS

Updates from Genius to the LMS are sent on demand, triggered by specific events. Genius pushes information immediately when actions such as the following occur:

• Section creation
• Student enrollment in a course
• Teacher enrollment in a course
• User password changes

This event driven approach ensures that enrollment and access changes reach the LMS without delay.

Summary

• Genius connects with a wide range of LMS platforms.
• LMS data is downloaded on a scheduled basis, often daily.
• Genius sends updates instantly when key events happen.
