Assemble currently offers the ability to integrate with Moodle or TalentLMS. This allows you to link Assemble's existing training modules to courses your organisation has available on one of these learning management systems (LMS).
In order to link training with an existing online module, you will need to edit a few settings in your LMS platform.
Moodle: Click here to see step-by-step Moodle configuration.
Talent LMS: Contact Assemble support for instructions.
Once you've completed your LMS configuration, make note of your LMS URL and tokens. In Assemble, click Settings, then Integrations and paste them here. If your LMS isn't listed, please contact Assemble support to complete the configuration.
Link Assemble training to an LMS course
You can create or edit training modules through Admin Compliance.
Make sure the title and description are clear, as they will be visible to volunteers.
(Optional) Set the completion period for the relevant number of weeks or months after starting the role.
(Optional) Set the renewal period, which prompts the volunteer to repeat the training at the interval you set.
Select the course from the Associate with course? dropdown.
📌 Note: The LMS course list only appears if you've configured an LMS for your organisation. The list auto-populates based on the courses available within your organisation's LMS instance.
Assign role profiles
Next, you need to assign the training module to role profiles, which allows users to see all training associated with their roles.
You need to select the Enable LMS sync check box for any associated online training to link with the LMS. If you don't select this:
The training tile still appears to managers on the volunteer's record.
The training tile also appears on the volunteer's view of their profile.
There's no direct link to the course from the training tile.
The Enable LMS sync setting prevents the auto-creation of users on your LMS, which you may need to do for licensing reasons. However, without this role profile-based setting, users with that role are unable to access online training through Assemble.
You can turn this setting on or off for individual role profiles at any time.
Complete a training module
Users will only see the list of training associated with their roles by clicking on the Training tab in their user profile.
Managers can view the training from a user record by clicking on More, then Training.
If training is associated with LMS, the E-LEARN tag is displayed on the training tile and any image from the online training module will be displayed, rather than the standard mortar board icon.
When the user clicks to take an associated LMS training, an account is created in the background, automatically logging the volunteer in and taking them to the relevant course. They can only access training through Assemble and do not go via the LMS site.
Once the user completes the training, it sends back this information to Assemble which automatically updates the training status and completion date for the user.
LMS associated training reflects the latest date the module was completed, irrespective of if the user is completing the training for the first time or refreshing it. However, the volunteer manager can override the date.
Only the volunteer manager can record the completion date for training that isn't associated with an LMS.
Assemble automatically notifies the volunteer and manager when the training completion date is overdue.
