QR codes

Users can log into the app using QR code scanning. The QR codes must be created yourself.

Voucher codes

Integrations

ovos play offers a variety of possibilities to integrate external platforms. If external platforms are integrated, we kindly offer technical support.

Explore the Demo App

iFrame

External contents can easily be integrated via iFrames. Either as menu points or in the content.

Magic Linking

When iFrames are accessed ovos play can provide a token for the external platform to verify the users account and pass through the authentication to the external platform.

GraphQL API

External platforms can utilize our GraphQL API anytime. With the API it is possible to fetch user and progress data with the according permissions and to execute actions. We kindly offer documentation and technical support with the API permissions.

LTI

ovos play content can be integrated in external learning management systems via LTI. Users do not need to log in again and can directly access the learning contents.

ovos play supports LTI 1.3 (= LTI Advantage).

Currently, LTI is provided by:

• LTI Authentication Flow

• Ressource Launch Request

• LTI Deeplinking

Agreements and meta pages

So-called “Agreement” pages can be used to ask users for their consent to any legal texts such as “terms of use” or “data protection”. If you use Agreement Pages, each user must also confirm them before the app can be used.
