Abstract

During the current pandemic, it is encouraging educational institutions to carry out distance learning, so many learning management system (LMS) platforms can be used to support distance learning. Each LMS has a different process flow but has the same goal of making it easier to manage learning content. When an LMS is implemented in an educational institution, it requires matching data for courses, students and lecturers that are available in the academic information system (AIS) at the institution, this is one of the weaknesses of all LMS because the data are not interrelated between AIS and LMS. The purpose of this research is to create an integrated system to equalize data between AIS and LMS using the synchronization method through the Application Programming Interface (API). The results of this application will combine data from AIS and LMS which will then be tested for automatic course creation according to class data, courses, lecturers and students at AIS. The test results of this system are said to be successful because each function that is designed has been running well without any fatal errors. The most important thing that needs to be considered when synchronizing is that there is a link between the data on the AIS and LMS, failure occurs on some courses because the email users in the AIS and LMS are different.
