Harvard Publishing Spark Collection

Import Harvard Business Impact: HBR Spark content into Oracle Learning as self-paced learning. You can keep your training catalog up to date by automating regular content refreshes from Harvard Business Impact: HBR Spark. The specific HBR Spark content available for import depends on your subscription plan and which content you can access from HBR Spark.

Track Progress Seamlessly
Oracle Learning records each learner’s progress and completion as they work through HBR Spark content. When team members sign in to HBR Spark with their Oracle HCM work email, HBR Spark sends progress and completion details back using the xAPI protocol. This two-way integration means Oracle Learning shows one complete transcript for every user—even when learning happens on HBR Spark.

Tips and considerations

  • Harvard Business Impact manages its own content, so some details remain read-only in Oracle Learning. Content updates flow from Harvard Business Impact to Oracle Learning whenever changes are made.
  • Now that Harvard has 2 providers, here is the key difference between them:
    • Harvard Business Impact (Harvard Business Publishing) – includes products from the Harvard Business Publishing Collection and Harvard ManageMentor
    • Harvard Business Impact (HBR Spark) – Includes products from the HBR Spark and Harvard ManageMentor
