SuperGlue

SuperGlue is an integration architecture developed by the California Community Colleges Technology Center to allow disparate Student Information Systems (SIS) to connect in a standardized way to systemwide technologies developed by the Technology Center, such as CCCApply, Multiple Measures Placement Service (MMPS), Canvas data, as well as fraud reporting.

SuperGlue provides a secure, robust framework for data exchange between these systemwide products and the colleges who use them. A key objective is to integrate all Chancellor’s Office-sponsored technology initiatives without putting additional burden on local college IT departments. The architecture has the following parts:

College Adaptor
The college adaptor is a software component that is installed locally behind a college’s firewall to facilitate data running in and out of the college’s Student Information System (SIS). It enables disparate systems to communicate in a standardized way with other services, such as the Canvas course management system.

Staging Table
Securely delivers CCCApply records - in near real-time - to a staging table in your college IT environment via the College Adaptor.

Multiple Measures Placement Service
Delivers placement recommendations based on high school student transcript information and/or self-reported transcript information directly to the college’s SIS-specific staging tables.

Orchestration Layer
Conductor workflows that deliver data.
