Module 4: Automation, Integrations, and Reporting

Why This Module Matters to You

Show how Moodle connects to external systems and how administrators can manage automation without creating fragile or insecure dependencies.

What You Will Be Able to Do

• Describe common integration patterns for authentication, enrolment, content, messaging, and reporting.
• Manage web-service and scheduled-task risks.
• Define governance practices for reports and data exports.

Topics You Will Practice

• Scheduled tasks and ad-hoc task behavior.
• Web services, tokens, service accounts, and access scope.
• Authentication and enrolment integrations.
• Reporting requirements, privacy, and data retention.
• Integration documentation and ownership.

Hands-On Notes for You

Emphasize that integrations require owners, monitoring, credentials management, and failure procedures. A working integration without documentation is an operational risk.
