Programme info: To ensure that all areas of the University can operate seamlessly in the digital world, procurement is underway to secure a Short Courses Platform (SCP). The SCP will offer a digital education experience including online programmes and short courses that can be accessed worldwide and will focus on online Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and lifelong learning. Developed in collaboration with representatives from the Colleges and Schools, USG, CSG and ISG​, the ultimate goal of the SCP programme is to deliver a University-wide catalogue of non-credit-bearing free and paid-for taught courses for externally facing users (non-affiliated/non-matriculated) featuring multiple modes of study (face-to-face, online, hybrid)​.

Project info: The purpose of this project  (SCP007 - Payment Integration and PCI DSS Compliance) is to plan and design the online payments integration required to enable learners to pay for short courses online, and for the business to account for payments received. This could include the following elements:

• define the end-to-end payment flow from the SCP shopping basket to the UoE online card payment service (WPM-Education) to P&M
• define the data elements to be passed between the Short Courses Platform  and WPM-Education
• define the configuration for onward data flows from  WPM-Education through InoHub to P&M
• plan activities needed for Integration and Testing
• plan the activities required  to achieve PCI DSS assurance
• plan the activities to undertake penetration testing (if required)

SCP capabilities will include course catalogue; checkout (integrated with University online payments system, WPM-Education); learner registration; VLE. Requirements gathering for payment integration and PCI DSS compliance will take all of this functionality into account.
