Discussion
- OBJECTIVE: most important to understand how it can be integrated with TIS
- business use, is not a decision within our scope
- wider business discussion of costs and business continuity to be facilitated by Ray
Integration
- rest APIs used for front end course data so possible to integrate
- attendance is stored within Agora database, however work would be required to provide this and their teams can manage this process
- X-API, the experience API?
- eportfolios need courses and absence, however this would be future functionality for Agora as well as for TIS
Authentication
- Agora only stores name and email address, no GMC or other data stored
- admin can enter event information individually or in bulk (via spreadsheet), then share link to the event
- Authentication and creation of accounts on the fly to be explored
Benefits to TIS
- allows admins to set up events and track attendance / study related leave
- this information can be managed on their site and integrated with TIS
- allows trainees and trainers to book themselves onto courses, attend and automatically update their person records with this information
- trainees will still need to apply for study leave - to be discussed internally how this could work if this goes ahead
Next Steps
- Neil Ralph, National Programme Manager (2nd Floor) has discussed potential to use with other training information dissemination
- confirm next steps with Ray Hill
