Understanding Genius Class LMS Integrations and Sync Schedules
Genius integrates with many leading Learning Management Systems, and each integration is designed to help your team manage courses, users, and data with as little manual effort as possible.

Each integration supports slightly different capabilities based on the LMS, but all of them allow Genius to send and receive key learning data.
How Genius Receives Information from the LMS
Genius collects updates from your LMS, including:
Grades
Activities
Teacher feedback
This process usually runs once per day. The actual schedule depends on:
The LMS being used
Client configuration and preferences
The size or scale of the operation
How long the LMS download takes for your environment
Your sync schedule can be adjusted during setup if your organization requires a different frequency. To do this our development team will need to be involved, so please create a ticket and we will take care of it.
How Genius Sends Information to the LMS
Updates from Genius to the LMS are sent on demand, triggered by specific events. Genius pushes information immediately when actions such as the following occur:
Section creation
Student enrollment in a course
Teacher enrollment in a course
User password changes
This event driven approach ensures that enrollment and access changes reach the LMS without delay.
Summary
Genius connects with a wide range of LMS platforms.
LMS data is downloaded on a scheduled basis, often daily.
Genius sends updates instantly when key events happen.
