The Learning Hub is a data sharing platform that is independent from LearningBuilder. It connects organizations that publish event data (such as a Practitioner completing a course) to the organizations that want to consume that data (e.g. to satisfy application requirements).

Overview

The organizations that participate in the Learning Hub are identified as Publishers or Subscribers.

• Publishers put data into the hub.

• Subscribers pull data out of the hub and do something with it.

...

The primary benefits of the Learning Hub are:

• Publishers and Subscribers do not call each other’s APIs directly, ensuring that they cannot adversely impact the performance of the other party’s systems;

• Standard APIs make it easier to integrate with LearningBuilder by reducing or eliminating custom code.

All of the APIs share a common hostname and authentication system.
