Grow by Plenum — Data Integration Documentation
Everything your team needs to evaluate and integrate with Grow by Plenum.
This library describes how Grow by Plenum — your dedicated, Plenum-operated learning environment — exchanges data with the systems your organization already runs: your data warehouse, HRIS, identity provider, BI and compliance reporting. It’s written for a mixed audience, so use this page to jump to what you need rather than reading start to finish.
Throughout the set, <SCHOOL_ID> refers to your organization’s dedicated Grow environment. Plenum confirms the specific values and endpoints for your environment during onboarding.

| 6 · Integrations & Notifications | A quick-reference “does it integrate with X?” capability matrix — native connectors, LTI 1.3, and notification options. |
| 9 · Security & Data Governance | The consolidated security posture for an infosec or vendor-risk review — hosting, encryption, access control, privacy, and the artifacts available through procurement. |
| 16 · LTI Tools for Industrial & Construction | A curated guide to external tools worth plugging into Grow — skilled-trades VR sims, proctored exams, and safety content — and how each connects (LTI vs. SCORM vs. credential record). |
How to read the set
- A data engineer typically reads 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 7, then 11 to harden.
- An identity / IT owner reads 5, then 2 and 8.
- A security / procurement reviewer reads 9 and 6 first.
- An L&D / operations owner reads 8, 10, and 16 (extending training with external tools).
If a specific question isn’t answered here, that’s the fastest thing to tell your Plenum engagement lead — we’d rather answer your actual questionnaire directly than have you hunt across documents.
