Abstract

Educational Resource Information Communication (ERIC) API has been developed which enables the integration of two separate system and enhance their interoperability while keeping both systems working independently like they were. The proposed API can be easily inserted or attached to any system through making no or very little modifications to the system. With ERIC API’s help, educational technology researchers can make their research (i.e., educational games) available and accessible for the potential users as the stakeholders don’t need to put many efforts in terms of integrating their systems into the platform the stakeholders like schools are currently using. This paper mainly focuses on the workflow of the developed ERIC API and talks the case of integrating Moodle and Online Tests System (OTS) so students can grant Moodle permission to access the information of the tests they are supposed to take, whether or not they have completed particular tests, and how they performed in the tests.
