What is a headless LMS?
A headless LMS enables the integration of its contents in other user interfaces. The content can be presented in different formats across different channels and devices. In this scenario, the flexible LMS configuration can be used purely as a back-end management system while the content is shown via another software interface.
Learning in the moment of need
One example: Display the learner’s personal learning status with finished and booked courses as well as badges and certifications via their personal profile in the social intranet. Or make a course for customers available via your company website. With a headless LMS, all of this and much more is possible by simply using an API.
Simplify your learning ecosystem
For your employees, this means that they don’t need to jump from software to software anymore to access various resources. You can provide them with one single point of access for your whole learning ecosystem. Just integrate your LMS contents, other content providers and third-party tools into one platform so your learners can search for all the learning resources they need via one user interface.
Make data maintenance more efficient
With a headless LMS, your admins don’t need to maintain the same data on different platforms. By integrating the functionalities of a software, you can manage, update and publish information via one software that is used as single source for the whole software ecosystem, giving you full version control. The data will automatically be synchronised across all the interfaces that use this functionality via API.
