Providers

Providers are added to courses and learning paths as identifiers. To use different email settings for providers, a client can be assigned. The email addresses configured in this client are then used to send the emails, e.g. for courses by this provider. Depending on the provider, the registration forms for courses and learning paths vary in the catalogue, in registration messages, and in cancellation reasons. For each provider, a logo can be uploaded, to be shown in the learners' catalogue, and course and learning path screens. For each provider, PayPal information can be deposited to allow the payment process for courses and learning paths to be carried out externally.

Badge Provider

The LMS makes use of the Provider entity as badge issuers. Providers are now configurable with an option that allows making the details of the provider public. 

In addition, an Open Badge provider must specify a URL and a contact e-mail address. These fields are now available for providers in the LMS. 

Badges have now also the possibility to display the provider image, if a provider is associated with the badge. For the badge cards in the badge panel, the provider small logo will be displayed on the back of the badge card. 

The badge details page will display the provider large logo.

Financial Transactions

The purchase of courses and learning paths via Paypal is conducted automatically, if the appropriate functions were enabled on the learning platform and the required Paypal information was deposited with the provider. When course or learning path reservations are made, an entry appears in the list of financial transactions. These entries can have the following statuses:

The payment status is updated at set intervals from the Paypal server. Intervals can be configured. The old entry remains at its original date, so changes may be viewed. The old entry remains at its original date, so changes may be viewed.

The status can be set to "Completed" or "Failed" manually at any time, if exceptional circumstances require manual intervention. This has no effect on the PayPal payment status. For completed or failed transactions, no further changes can be made. Special Functions for Creating and Editing Provider:
