Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on an Open edX deployment and I’m looking for guidance on integrating Open edX with a Student Information Management System (SIMS).
Has anyone successfully integrated Open edX with an external SIMS/SIS?
I’m particularly interested in understanding:
-
How to synchronize student/user information between Open edX and the SIMS
-
How to synchronize course enrollment and unenrollment
-
Whether there are existing Open edX APIs, plugins, or integration patterns recommended for this
-
How to handle grades, course completion, and certificates between the two systems
-
Whether the integration is typically implemented through REST APIs, webhooks, LTI, or another approach
-
Any examples or reference implementations would be very helpful.
If you have implemented a similar integration, I would really appreciate hearing about your architecture and experience.
Thank you!
