How to Active AmazonS3 Module in InfixLMS

  • InfixLMS should be pre-installed on your server.

  • Purchase the AmazonS3 Module for InfixLMS.

  • Download the AmazonS3 Module from the Codecanyon.

  • Upload the AmazonS3 Module From System Setting> Module Manager.

  • Setup the AmazonS3 Module App and configure it.

Benefits of AmazonS3 Module for E-Learners:

  • Scalable Storage: Amazon S3 provides virtually unlimited, scalable storage capacity, ensuring that e-learning platforms can store a vast amount of course materials, multimedia content, and resources.

  • Reliability: Amazon S3 is known for its high availability and durability. Course materials stored on S3 are redundantly stored across multiple data centres, reducing the risk of data loss.

  • Speed and Performance: Content stored on Amazon S3 can be delivered quickly to users, ensuring fast access to course materials, even for large files or multimedia content.

  • Cost-Effective: AWS offers pay-as-you-go pricing for S3, allowing organizations to control costs based on their actual storage usage.

  • Security: Amazon S3 provides robust security features, including encryption, access controls, and permissions, ensuring that course materials are protected from unauthorized access.

  • Content Distribution: Content stored on S3 can be easily distributed to learners globally, thanks to AWS's Content Delivery Network (CDN), improving content access speed.

Access to Secret Key in the InfixLMS System:

To access the secret key for using the Amazon S3 Module in an LMS system, you typically need to follow these steps:

  • AWS Account: Ensure that you have an AWS account or access to an AWS account created by your organization. If you don't have an account, sign up for one on the AWS website.

  • Create an IAM User: It's recommended to create a dedicated Identity and Access Management (IAM) user within your AWS account specifically for the LMS. This user will have limited permissions and access to the S3 bucket where course content is stored.

  • Generate Access and Secret Keys: After creating the IAM user, generate an Access Key ID and a Secret Access Key for that user. These keys are required for authenticating your LMS system with Amazon S3.

  • Configure LMS: In your LMS system, navigate to the settings or configuration section where you can enable and configure the Amazon S3 Module. There, you'll typically find fields to input the Access Key ID and Secret Access Key generated in the previous step.

  • Set Permissions: Ensure that the IAM user associated with these keys has the appropriate permissions to access the specified S3 bucket and perform necessary actions, such as read and write operations.

  • Testing: Before deploying the module in a production environment, it's advisable to test the configuration to ensure that the LMS can successfully connect to Amazon S3 and retrieve or store course materials.

By following these steps, you can leverage the benefits of the Amazon S3 Module in your e-learning platform while maintaining the security and integrity of your course content stored on AWS.





On the next page go to the "Attach existing policies directly" section, search for S3, and check the box next to AmazonS3FullAccess. This ensures that our user (with the ID/secret attached), has full read/write access to our S3 bucket.

Click through the next few screens, leaving everything unchanged, and your user will be created successfully!

You'll be on a screen that contains your user-created, along with its Access key ID and Secret access key.
