Instructors frequently rely on third-party products, publishers, and tools to support teaching and learning in their courses.

Request An Integration

When instructors need to provide more functions and/or software to enhance the classroom experience that is not provided by centrally funded and supported tools, they can request the use of a new tool or third-party integration.  

New integrations must undergo a security review before implementation to identify any risks that the software or service presents to Georgia Southern before synchronizing with our learning management system.

Additionally, instructors who request a new tool must agree to test the functionality of the new software or service in a test environment before it is placed in production.

New Integration Process

The process for new integrations into Folio includes three distinct phases, which must be completed before the integration can be implemented in Folio.

  • Phase I: USG Security Assessment completed by vendor and approved by USG Security Office.
  • Phase II: Installation and configuration of the integration in the TEST Folio environment
  • Phase III: User Acceptance Testing by instructor (in TEST Folio environment)

Once these phases have been completed, the integration will be scheduled to ‘Go Live’ in the Folio production environment during the upcoming academic break between semesters.
