APIs, Networking & Integration Topics
API design, management, and integration patterns including REST, GraphQL, and other protocols. Covers API contract design, versioning strategies, error handling, idempotency, deprecation planning, and SDK/integration frameworks. Includes system-to-system integration, webhook patterns, and integration platform considerations. Excludes network infrastructure and network-layer protocols (see Network Architecture under Cloud & Infrastructure or a dedicated networking category if needed).
Blended Learning Technology Architecture
Discuss how you've architected learning technology solutions that support blended learning—integrating LMS, virtual classroom platforms, mobile apps, on-the-job learning tools, and other systems. Explain how you ensure seamless user experiences and integration between systems.
Learning Technology Architecture and Integration
Evaluates technical understanding of how learning systems fit into broader enterprise architectures and how to design reliable data and identity flows. Topics include integration patterns with human resources systems, performance management and identity providers, user provisioning and single sign on, standards for content and activity interoperability such as SCORM and xAPI, API and event driven data pipelines, mapping and reconciling user and learning data, monitoring and error handling, data governance privacy and retention considerations, security trade offs, and deployment and testing strategies. Strong answers explain how integration choices affect reporting analytics adoption and ongoing maintenance.
Learning Standards and Technical Compliance
Focuses on technical interoperability, tracking, and compatibility standards for learning content and platforms, including the Sharable Content Object Reference Model standard, the Experience API standard, and standards originating from the Aviation Industry Computer Based Training Committee. Topics include packaging and versioning content for learning management systems, designing learning event data to be captured and reported, testing across platforms, specifying technical requirements in vendor contracts, managing learning record stores, and ensuring data privacy and security for learner information.
