The University requires a platform to deliver online continuing professional development (CPD) and executive education courses without the administrative burden required to setup learner accounts and match financial payments provided through current options.  

This project will cover the technical integrations required for an CPD solution. The requirements analysis is being covered by OCP004 (https://secure.projects.ed.ac.uk/project/ocp004) and a further project will be initiated for the procurement activities. 

LTW are working in partnership with colleagues across the University to understand CPD platform needs to identify and cost a solution that;  

• Allows learners to enrol and pay for a course without the need for UoE staff to manually set up UoE accounts.  

• Provides course authoring including assessments and collaborative tools for synchronous and asynchronous learning.   

• Provides an accessible learner experience showing progress through the course and course certificates. 

• Allows central and course level management of users and courses, and provides financial and learner reporting.
