Your Corporate Learning Environment Completed: PlusPlus + Degreed
Your Corporate Learning Ecosystem, Connected: PlusPlus + Degreed
PlusPlus and Degreed work together to form a modern, flexible learning ecosystem—one that supports structured programs, live learning, and self-directed exploration, without increasing administrative overhead.
PlusPlus is where learning experiences are created, delivered, and managed.
Degreed is where learning is aggregated, discovered, and recognized.
Together, they enable true blended learning across courses, live events, programs, and curated knowledge—while giving learners autonomy and giving learning teams visibility.
Expand Learning Without Expanding Workload
With the PlusPlus–Degreed integration, learning teams can:
Build guided learning journeys using Tracks
Curate flexible knowledge libraries using Collections
Power live learning through events, workshops, and cohorts
Automatically sync learning activity and completions into Degreed
Learners choose how and when they engage, while teams retain insight into participation, progress, and skill development—without duplicating work across platforms.
How Learning Flows Between PlusPlus and Degreed
In PlusPlus: Create and Orchestrate Learning
PlusPlus is the system of action for learning delivery and engagement.
Tracks
Create structured learning journeys that combine courses, live events, and assignments. Tracks can be automatically assigned for onboarding, role-based enablement, or ongoing development—handling enrollment, reminders, and progress tracking.
Collections
Curate flexible, non-linear groupings of content around a topic, practice area, or community. Collections are ideal for knowledge sharing, office hours, evolving domains, and ongoing reference material.
Live Learning & Events
Manage all live learning in one place, including:
Enrollment and capacity management
Calendar invites and reminders
Waitlists and attendance tracking
Completion signaling
Guides (Presenters & Mentors)
Highlight internal experts to reinforce peer-driven learning and knowledge transfer.
In Degreed: Discover, Aggregate, and Recognize Learning
Degreed remains the learner’s central discovery and recognition layer.
Learners discover PlusPlus content via:
Their Degreed feed, informed by interests and activity
The Degreed catalog, alongside content from other providers
Degreed receives:
Completion data for PlusPlus courses, events, and programs
Learning activity that contributes to learner profiles and skill insights
Learning teams use Degreed to:
Track learning across systems
Apply credentials and certifications
Maintain a unified view of organizational learning
What’s New & Improved in the Integration
Recent PlusPlus enhancements have significantly expanded the flexibility and control of the Degreed integration:
Richer learning structures through Tracks and Collections
Improved event modeling, with live events syncing as Events (not Courses)
Granular content controls, allowing teams to choose exactly what syncs
Support for informal and self-directed learning
Badge syncing for improved recognition
These updates reinforce a clear separation of responsibilities:
PlusPlus focuses on learning delivery and engagement, while Degreed focuses on aggregation, skills, and recognition.

Configure your sync options (outlined below)
Click Save
Configure Your Degreed Sync
Once enabled, PlusPlus gives you fine-grained control over what syncs, how it appears, and how learning is classified in Degreed.
Sync Badges
Turn on to sync badges to Degreed
When enabled, badges earned in PlusPlus are pushed to Degreed and reflected in learner profiles. This allows achievements earned through events, courses, and Tracks to contribute to recognition and credentialing.
Sync Hidden Content
Turn on to also sync content marked as hidden
By default, hidden or restricted content is excluded from Degreed to avoid access mismatches. Enabling this option allows hidden PlusPlus content to be indexed in Degreed when your access model supports it.
Best practice: Only enable this if Degreed permissions closely mirror PlusPlus visibility rules.
Sync PlusPlus Events as Degreed Events
Formerly, PlusPlus events were synced as Courses
With this option enabled:
Live learning in PlusPlus syncs as Events in Degreed
On-demand learning continues to sync as Courses
Reporting and learner expectations are more accurate
This is especially valuable for instructor-led training, workshops, and recurring live sessions.
Use a Template for Events
Add a templated header to event descriptions in Degreed
Enable this to prepend standardized information—such as date, time, or location—to event descriptions indexed in Degreed.
Templates support the same dynamic tags used in PlusPlus event notifications.
Example:
📅 {{ date_time_information }}
📍 {{ event_location }}Use Preview to confirm formatting before saving.
Sync Self-Enrolled Learning
Sync assignments with no due dates and self-enrolled events as Self-Enrolled Learning
When enabled, optional learning that is not part of a required Track—such as self-enrolled events or informal sessions—will appear in Degreed as Self-Enrolled Learning.
This helps capture curiosity-driven and informal learning without overstating requirements.
