Technical Support - Integrating with Perception

There are numerous ways to integrate with Questionmark Perception. You can integrate Perception with management systems such Blackboard, WebCT and Moodle, and with specific applications such as Adobe Captivate and Flash.

Refer to the table below for more information on integrating with particular systems, applications and standards.

QMWISe

Perception is compliant with industry standards such as IMS and SCORM and is AICC certified. For even tighter integration, however, Questionmark Web Integrated Services Environment (QMWISe) is available. QMWISe is a comprehensive web services API that enables registration, management and reporting systems to tightly integrate with Perception. QMWISe enables direct access to more Perception functionality through a single, seamless interface that brings together all aspects of managing and delivering the learning experience. For more information on QMWISe, please refer to:

What is QMWISe, and how do I find out more about it?

For detailed technical information, please refer to the QMWISe Reference Guide.

PIP

Perception Integration Protocol (PIP) is a secure, programming level interface to Perception. PIP enables other programs to start Perception assessments, and enables Perception to call other programs at the end of assessments. When Perception is called by PIP, the call can be authenticated to make sure it is coming from a reliable source, and it's possible to hide all details from the participant. And when Perception calls another program with PIP, the call happens directly from the server, without the participant knowing about or seeing the call.

For detailed information on PIP, please refer to Perception Integration Protocol (PIP) in the Wed Deployment Guide.

Publish to LMS

Publish to LMS enables Perception authors to create Content Package files. Content Package files can be read and imported by LMSs (Learning Management Systems) or other applications, so that Perception assessments can be scheduled or run from an LMS. Publish to LMS is available in Perception version 4.4 and above, and supercedes the Content Packager program.

For more information, please refer to What is Publish to LMS?
