Integration Model of Academic Information Systems and Learning Management Systems with REST Web Services Using External Databases

ICT products like Academic Information Systems (AIS) and LMS are commonly utilized in Indonesian universities. These two ICT tools will be of tremendous use to higher education institutions in managing their academic business procedures. The two systems are still not connected in many higher institutions, nevertheless, for example when it comes to handling academic data. If the management and integration process is carried out conventionally, it will be challenging and inefficient due to the massive volume of data and complexity of these two systems. Observing these issues, the researcher plans to study the two REST-based Web Service systems' connection and make use of the External Database functionality, which will be utilized to synchronize data in real-time from AIS to E-Learning. It is hoped that the integration model resulting from research can be a solution for integration between AIS and LMS and can be implemented in many higher education institutions
