Open Sesame

Overview

The OpenSesame integration connects Learn Amp to OpenSesame's extensive e-learning catalogue, giving your organisation access to thousands of professionally curated courses. Once set up, content from your OpenSesame account syncs automatically into Learn Amp as e-learning items—ready for you to curate and assign to your learners.

This integration is ideal for organisations looking to expand their learning library with high-quality, off-the-shelf content across a wide range of topics and industries.

Functionality Breakdown

The OpenSesame integration works through an automatic synchronisation process:

Initial Sync – When you first set up the integration, all content from your OpenSesame account is imported into Learn Amp
Ongoing Updates – When content is added, updated, or removed from your OpenSesame account, those changes are automatically reflected in Learn Amp via webhook notifications
Content Format – OpenSesame courses are imported as SCORM e-learning packages and launch within Learn Amp's built-in e-learning player
Progress Tracking – Learner progress and completions are tracked just like any other e-learning content in Learn Amp

What Gets Imported

For each piece of OpenSesame content, the following is synced to Learn Amp:

Course title and description
Duration
Course image
The SCORM package itself (for playback)

FAQs

Q: Is the entire OpenSesame library stored within Learn Amp?
No. OpenSesame content is hosted online and synced to Learn Amp based on your OpenSesame account. Only the content included in your OpenSesame subscription will appear in Learn Amp.

Q: How often does content sync?
Content syncs automatically when you first set up the integration, and then whenever OpenSesame notifies Learn Amp of changes via webhook. You don't need to manually trigger syncs.

Q: Can users search for any OpenSesame content?
Users can only search for and access content that has been synced from your OpenSesame account. They cannot browse OpenSesame's full catalogue directly.

Q: I don't know what technical content to download for some users—what should I do?
We recommend speaking with your technical teams to understand what topics they're interested in. They can provide keywords or subject areas, and you can then ensure the relevant content is available in your OpenSesame subscription.

Q: Does imported content have to be visible to everyone?
No. Once synced, OpenSesame content can be curated like any other content in Learn Amp. You can set visibility to hidden, specific users, groups, teams, or everyone at your company.

Q: What happens if I remove content from my OpenSesame account?
When content is removed or deactivated in OpenSesame, the corresponding item in Learn Amp will be archived automatically during the next sync.

Troubleshooting

Issue	Solution

Issue	Solution
Content not appearing after setup	Check that your Customer Integration ID is correct and that your OpenSesame account has content. Allow a few minutes for the initial sync to complete.
Sync not updating new content	OpenSesame sends webhook notifications when content changes. If updates aren't appearing, contact support to verify the webhook connection.
Users can't find OpenSesame content	Ensure the content visibility is set appropriately. By default, content is visible to the entire company, but this may have been changed.
E-learning not launching	Check that the SCORM package imported correctly. If issues persist, try re-syncing or contact support.
Wrong language content appearing	OpenSesame content is synced based on language settings. Ensure your OpenSesame account has content in your preferred languages.
