Enrollment | ProductType, ProductClass |
Enrollment in ‘DemoX’ course | Product |
“Honor”, “Verified” Enrollment in ‘DemoX’ course | Product Variant |
Fulfillment | Strategy |
Enrollments are the core of our product line.
Cohorts, X-Series, Redeem Codes, etc, all rely on an enrollment product being available, or having already being purchased in order to upsell.
Enrollments will have both variants (honor / verified / prof ed) and be directly associated with a course.
Enrollment in a specific course is a unique product in our catalog.
Enrollments are a type of product in our catalog
Can be purchased or upgraded to from an honor certificate
Have specific “availability dates”
Special refund logic for un-enrolling in courses by a certain date.
Need special fulfillment logic
Verified Certificates have “flexible” payment strategies (min price, suggested prices)
Are these donations on top of the purchase price?
Django-Oscar Concepts
The following concepts are associated with creating Enrollments in our catalog.
Product - The main Enrollment product. This will be the top-level product for which all our enrollment variants are defined. For enrollment in the DemoX course, we would have a single product “DemoX Enrollment”. The SKU could be the Course ID.
Variant - This could be used to define the multiple enrollment modes available for a course. There will be a single “DemoX Enrollment” product, with variants “Honor”, “Verified”, etc.
Category - A category is required for a product to be created. This is used for navigation purposes. I believe we may just make one blanket category “Course Enrollments”. We’ll want to have further navigation details later, such as X-Series, and subjects.
- Product Type - Associated with the Specific Product Class, which would be the “Enrollment”. Each product is associated with a class, and each of our Course Enrollments will be of the same “Enrollment” type.
X Series
edX concept | django-oscar concept |
|---|---|
X-Series | Categories |
X-Series Offers (sales, discounts) | Ranges |
Need to group courses together
Will they need to be purchased together?
Will this primarily be a search index?
Do they need special landing pages?
Is the price different? Discounted when bought together?
Is the X-Series a product or just an attribute, grouping?
Django-Oscar Concepts
Potentially use “Categories” and “Ranges”.
Ranges can be used for Offers, which may be useful for discounting X-Series later on.
Categories are indexed for search, and are essentially groupings of products
- A Category will always be created, where as a Range may include a Category if we choose to create offers / discounts for X-Series courses.
