What is the NovoEd SumTotal Learning Management Integration?


NovoEd’s SumTotal integration aims to provide tighter connections between two core components of the corporate learning tech stack: the experiential learning platform (NovoEd) and the learning management system (SumTotal).

With the integration, clients are able to:

• Streamline L&D program administration

• Take steps towards a more centralized source of truth for their learning catalog, enrollments, and learner activity

• Offer learners a cohesive user experience when programs require engagement with multiple systems.

NovoEd’s SumTotal integration offers automatic synchronization between NovoEd and SumTotal in three key areas:

1. SumTotal Activity Completion
   Activities in SumTotal can exist as third-party activities/tools that report completion back to NovoEd.

2. Discovery and Enrollments
   The integration allows SumTotal to be the point of discovery and enrollment into a NovoEd course. Additionally, enrollment made in NovoEd through an admin, API, or self-enrollment also syncs with the SumTotal Activity Roster.

3. Learner Course Completion*
   As learners complete their NovoEd coursework, SumTotal is kept up to date as the system of record for completion.
   *NOTE: Org Admins will not see progress delivered to SumTotal. The SumTotal Integration will only carry over course progress for learners.
