Secondly, let's just look at the list of main benefits that come with integrations presented below.  
 

• Embraces learning experience: Integrations add extra functions and useful features. So, your students have more organization, connection, and even designing tools that may help them throughout the learning process. For example, you can integrate communication tools such as Slack. That tool will allow you and your students to create a team and communicate in multiple channels about different topics. Plus, one more benefit of Slack is that students also will be able to communicate with each other separately or open channels for group projects. 
• Saves your time: the beauty of third-party integrations is that those are created, developed, and tested by another company. So, when you install it, it is ready to use. Accordingly, you save lots of time, and instead of spending it on bug fixing, get the opportunity to invest it in high-quality course material creation.
• Saves money: Instead of paying developers lots of money, to develop the same features on the website, which you can just get for free or very little money, would not be smart. Therefore, third-party integrations make your life easier and your wallet fuller once again. 
• Creates better user experiences: Even if the visitor is not a client, you will have to ensure that they have a nice time on your website to increase the chances of turning them into clients. Your website should be user-friendly, responsive, easy to navigate through, and most importantly, have enough features.  
   

With the right integrations, you will be able to turn the website into a full-featured e-learning platform.
