This month’s blog comes from Intellek HQ and we are excited to share some critical information on what’s so important about LMS Links. Watch this quick rundown by our Head of BD and Innovation Daryl Fitzpatrick, as he takes you through how learning management system links work in our solution.

What are Deep LMS Links?
Deep LMS links are a powerful tool that allows for seamless integration between a learning management system (LMS) and various educational resources. These links enable students to directly access specific content, assignments, or activities within the LMS without the hassle of navigating through multiple pages or logging in multiple times.
By providing a more streamlined and efficient learning experience, deep links make it easier for students to access the materials they need to succeed. Whether it’s a particular lesson, a quiz, or a discussion forum, deep LMS links ensure that students can quickly and easily reach their desired destination within the LMS, enhancing their overall learning experience.

How does Deep Linking work in an LMS?
For Deep links in management systems to be truly functional for our clients, there are three key elements that we feel are of value to provide…
1. Learners Can Share LMS Links
The first element that we would like to touch on is the value of our ‘Share LMS links’ feature. It allows employees to collaborate and engage with each other, by sharing a link to a course or by sending an email to another employee with the link included. The email can be sent directly to the coworker’s Outlook mail and accessed immediately in real-time.
2. One LMS Link = Multiple Event Enrolment Options
The LMS calendar can often become very busy!
Imagine you have 20 events, or webinars, scheduled on the calendar for one course. Rather than emailing 20 separate links out for each event or asking staff “When do you want to attend”, LMS Administrators can quickly and easily send one LMS link which can show all upcoming calendar events.
This is a handy feature that expedites scheduling while again, making for a pleasant learner experience.
3. Seamlessly Launch Courses From Any Device
Finally, another much-loved feature is the ability to broadcast any course type, with LMS links for employees to get immediate access to the course. Employees can access their account and launch courses from any device, ensuring flexibility and convenience. Sending a broadcast email is a terrific and efficient way to make sure learners get what they need, even when they’re on their mobile!
SSO and Deep Linking in an LMS
An important factor tied to all 3 of these points about LMS Links is that with Single Sign On (SSO), no one is required to log in when they enter the Intellek LMS. In essence, SSO makes access very simple and seamless.
This is a pertinent feature to enable ease of use since everyone has had the experience of having to try to recall “What’s my password again?”.
What Our Clients Say About Deep Links in an LMS
This quote from Janette Nicholson, at McMillan LLP, speaks to how deep linking in their LMS has been a true asset:
“The training calendar is intuitive and user-friendly for our legal staff who may not have a significant amount of time to spend perusing an overly complicated calendar. Once a user registers for a scheduled learning session, calendar appointments automatically follow.
What’s most refreshing about Intellek’s LMS is that there’s never a need for users to be pre-enrolled in a course and the ‘learner launch links’ that can be sent from each course. This allows our company to incorporate direct course links among internal communications as well as through our company intranet!”
