Facebook-Likes-In-LearningStudio

This skill enables LearningStudio instructional designers to embed Facebook Like buttons on course content pages, allowing students to flag and share strong educational material to their Facebook walls. When students like content, an intermediate landing page displays course information via meta tags to Facebook while showing marketing content to visiting friends, promoting the university's online program. The solution uses LearningStudio REST APIs and JavaScript to parse content and course IDs, then generates encrypted hashes for privacy. This approach provides instructional designers with analytics on which content resonates most with students while fostering engagement through social reinforcement and word-of-mouth marketing in closed educational communities.

Create a Facebook application in the Developers Portal and design a public landing page (PHP or other language) that uses LearningStudio REST APIs to fetch course metadata. Host the fbls.js widget and landing page publicly, then implement the provided JavaScript and HTML code on LearningStudio content pages where Like buttons should appear. The system requires PHP 5.3.2+ on your server.
