AWS IOT + GoToTraining Integrations

GoToTraining is a web based training platform with more than 10 million users worldwide. GoToTraining provides training on a variety of topics such as software, hardware, and business skills. GoToTraining has been used by companies of all sizes for eLearning, internal training and for online certification programs. The software is used in over 70 countries and is available in 15 different languages.

The AWS IoT Platform is a service that enables any device to connect to the cloud and interact with people or other devices. It has the ability to ingest data from streaming sources, store it and process it for analytics. It also enables secure, bi-directional communications.

GoToTraining has removed the need for their customers to spend time creating systems and infrastructure for delivery of training material and now they can focus on building an engaging training experience. We at GoToTraining are excited about the possibilities of leveraging the power of the AWS IOT platform in our future offerings to provide new experiences for our customers.

Integration of AWS IOT and GoToTraining

With the integration of the AWS IOT platform and GoToTraining, we were able to create an authentication system that could verify the identity of an individual and then allow them access to the training they want. The user interface was built so that each individual was able to log into their account, select a course and then be taken to a new page where they could begin watching the video, after logging in again. When they finished watching a video, they would go back to the same login page and choose another video. If they made it through all the videos in a course, they would see a survey asking for feedback. If they had any questions about what they just learned, they could click on a link to chat with an instructor or a staff member about it. The last step was to enter their email address so we could send them their certificate. They would get an email from us congratulating them on their accomplishment and asking them to confirm their email address so we could send them their certificate. Once they confirmed their email address and clicked on a link we sent them, we would send them a PDF certificate. All of this was accomplished using the AWS IOT platform and GoToTraining’s application programming interface (API.

Benefits of Integration of AWS IOT and GoToTraining

One thing we wanted to make sure we did when developing this project was keep in mind the end user’s experience and what they wanted. There were many benefits to integrating these two platforms together. Some of these benefits include:

Ability to create courses that provide education in a way that makes sense for the end user.

Ability to monitor every aspect of a course from start to finish with easy tracking capability of progress through the course content.

Ability to have an end-to-end learning management platform spution that can handle both training operations and employee development.

Ability to provide a unique learning experience for each user based on information provided by the customer when creating courses which includes things like course title, description, number of lessons, etc.

Other benefits that are not listed above include:

Ability to see who is logged in at all times so you can track progress through your course.

Ability to monitor how much time each employee spends on different portions of your course so you can determine if they are getting value out of it or if you need to improve certain parts of it.
