One of your ideas has been delivered from your suggestion.Skillsoft Percipio Content Provider

You can now import Skillsoft Percipio learning content to Oracle Learning as self-paced learning. The content that's imported depends on your Skillsoft Percipio subscription plan and the content accessible to you on their platform.

Learner progression and completion is tracked in Oracle Learning whether it's launched from Skillsoft Percipio or from Oracle Learning. Progress data is sent by Skillsoft Percipio to Oracle Learning using the xAPI protocol for sharing learning experience data. So you have a single learning transcript for your learners in Oracle Learning that includes Skillsoft Percipio content, regardless of where they launch.

Learners can easily find Skillsoft Percipio content in your Oracle Learning catalog by filtering with publisher or author information that Skillsoft Percipio sends to Oracle Learning.

This enhancement extends the external content that you can leverage in Oracle Learning and provides your learners with a single learning catalog for all their training needs

Steps to Enable

Prerequisites

  1. Enable the Redwood user experience.
  2. Enable the 24D Redwood catalog management feature.

You need to complete set up in both Oracle Learning and Skillsoft Percipio.

Set up in Oracle Learning

  1. Create a user account you will provide to Skillsoft Percipio so they can authenticate to your instance and send their content and learner progression
    1. On the Tools > Security Console, Users tab, add a user account.
    2. Set Associated Person Type to None
    3. Enter the appropriate user details so you can identify the account. Give the account a meaningful user name, such as skillsoft.percipio.
    4. Create a job role and include the Learning Content Provider duty role.
    5. Grant this role to the new user account. The role allows this account to use the necessary Oracle APIs to receive content and completions from Skillsoft.
  2. Enable the Skillsoft Percipio external provider using the Configure External Providers task on the My Client Groups > Learning page.
    1. Configure the Skillsoft Percipio provider.
    2. Enter the user account created in the previous step and validate.
    3. Optionally change the attribute mappings. These let you map certain Percipio attributes to attributes in Oracle Learning that you might have extended or customized.

Set up in Skillsoft Percipio

  1. Contact your Skillsoft account team and give them the user name created in Oracle Learning. In turn, they'll provide you with this information:
    • A public certificate so they can authenticate to the Oracle Learning APIs to send content and completion data
    • A trusted issuer name for their JWT token

Set up in Oracle

  1. Add Skillsoft Percipio's public certificate to Oracle Learning to authenticate incoming requests from Percipio. For detailed steps, see Configuring Oracle API Authentication for Content Provider (document ID 3041374.1) on My Oracle Support.

Schedule background processes in Oracle Learning

  1. Using the Tools > Scheduled Processes task, schedule these processes:
  • ESS job to run Bulk ingest to OSCS to make new content and updates from Percipio visible in Oracle Learning. Set the program name to OLC-REST and leave the other input fields empty.  We recommend a frequency of once per day.
  • Process learning experience statements to process any learner experience statements from Percipio that for some reason weren't processed immediately. We recommend a frequency of once per day.
  • Process Learning App Events to deactivate content when the deactivation date set by Percipio arrives. We recommend a frequency of once per day.

Tips And Considerations

  • Single sign in is required between your Oracle Learning and Skillsoft Percipio instances using any Identity Provider of your choice. Contact your Skillsoft account team to help with this.
  • For any setup related queries for Pericipio, contact your Skillsoft account team.
  • If you're planning to use more than one of the learning connectors, the Learning Connect SKU might be applicable. For more details, check Oracle Learning Connect.
