Bi-Directional LMS Integration Built for RTOs and Training Providers
SELMA connects natively with the leading learning management systems used by Australian and New Zealand training providers. Unlike one-way integrations that simply push enrolment data into an LMS, SELMA's bi-directional integration reads results, completions, and assessment data back from your LMS into SELMA automatically -- keeping your compliance reporting current without manual data entry or CSV exports.

How the Integration Works
SELMA acts as the single source of truth for all student administration, compliance reporting, and financial management. Your LMS handles course delivery, assessments, and learning activities. The integration keeps both systems in sync automatically:
- Enrolment sync -- when a student is enrolled in SELMA, they are automatically provisioned in your LMS with the correct course access and user credentials
- Results flowing back -- assessment results, unit completions, and competency outcomes recorded in your LMS flow back into SELMA automatically for AVETMISS reporting, SDR submissions, and compliance records
- Course structure alignment -- course and qualification data maintained in SELMA drives the corresponding structure in your LMS, keeping both systems consistent
- Single sign-on -- students and staff move seamlessly between SELMA and your LMS without separate logins
- Real-time compliance data -- because results flow back automatically, your AVETMISS NAT files and SDR submissions are always based on current data rather than periodic manual exports
Why bi-directional matters for compliance: One-way integrations create a compliance risk -- results recorded in your LMS do not automatically update your SMS, meaning your AVETMISS or SDR data can fall behind. SELMA's bi-directional integration eliminates this gap entirely.
Why RTOs and PTEs Use SELMA Alongside Their LMS
🔄
No More Manual Exports
Results and completions recorded in your LMS flow back into SELMA automatically. No CSV exports, no copy-paste, no data lag between your learning delivery and your compliance reporting.
📋
Always Compliant
AVETMISS NAT files and SDR submissions are generated from live data that reflects what is actually happening in your LMS. No reconciliation required at reporting time.

SELMA's AI-assisted workflow builder automates tasks triggered by LMS events -- for example, automatically issuing a certificate when a student completes all required units in Moodle.
Supported LMS Platforms
Moodle
SELMA's Moodle integration is one of the most comprehensive in the Australian and New Zealand training market. Enrolments, results, and completions sync bi-directionally. SELMA also offers managed Moodle hosting for organisations that want a single vendor managing both their SMS and LMS infrastructure.
Blackboard
SELMA integrates with Blackboard for higher education providers and larger training organisations using Blackboard for course delivery. Student enrolments and completion data sync automatically between both platforms.
Canvas
Canvas integration covers the full enrolment and results cycle. Students provisioned in SELMA gain automatic Canvas access, and completion data flows back into SELMA for compliance reporting.
Cloud Assess
Cloud Assess is widely used by Australian RTOs for competency-based assessment delivery. SELMA's Cloud Assess integration ensures assessment outcomes recorded in Cloud Assess flow directly into SELMA's AVETMISS reporting without manual intervention.
