Abstract

In general, the present disclosure includes delivery methods for remote learning system courses. In one embodiment, a method includes transmitting, to a remote learning management system, a request for a course associated with a course type. The remote learning management system is operable to provide a plurality of courses based on the request. Information associated with the course is transmitted to or received from the remote learning management system. The information included a delivery method. The course catalog is automatically updated based, at least in part, on the delivery method of the course.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

transmitting, to a remote learning management system, a request for a course associated with a course type, the remote learning management system operable to provide a plurality of courses based on the request;

receiving information associated with the course from the remote learning management system, the information including a delivery method; and

automatically updating the course catalog based, at least in part, on the delivery method of the course.

2. The method of claim 1, the delivery method including at least one of web-based training, classroom, virtual classroom, static web-based training, test, or curricula.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein automatically updating the course catalog comprises automatically updating the course catalog with an attribute of the course based, at least on part on, the delivery method.

4. The method of claim 3, the attribute comprising at least one of a schedule, a location, or a grading scale.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein automatically updating the course catalog comprises automatically updating the course catalog with a status check of the course based, at least on part on, the delivery method.

6. The method of claim 5, the status check comprising at least one of a schedule shift, current capacity, or license check.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein automatically updating the course catalog comprises automatically updating the course catalog with an available action of the course based, at least on part on, the delivery method.

8. The method of claim 1, the available action comprising at least one of billing or cancellation.

9. The method of claim 1, the received information in a first format and the course catalog in a second format, the method further comprising converting the information from the first format to the second format.

10. Software for managing courses, the software operable to:

transmit, to a remote learning management system, a request for a course associated with a course type, the remote learning management system operable to provide a plurality of courses based on the request;

receive information associated with the course from the remote learning management system, the information including a delivery method; and

automatically update the course catalog based, at least in part, on the delivery method of the course.

11. The software of claim 10, the delivery method including at least one of web-based training, classroom, virtual classroom, static web-based training, test, or curricula.

12. The software of claim 10, wherein the software operable to automatically update the course catalog comprises the software operable to automatically update the course catalog with an attribute of the course based, at least on part on, the delivery method.

13. The software of claim 12, the attribute comprising at least one of a schedule;

a location, or a grading scale.

14. The software of claim 10, wherein the software operable to automatically update the course catalog comprises the software operable to automatically update the course catalog with a status check of the course based, at least on part on, the delivery method.

15. The software of claim 14, the status check comprising at least one of a schedule shift, current capacity, or license check.

16. The software of claim 10, wherein the software operable to automatically update the course catalog comprises the software operable to automatically update the course catalog with an available action of the course based, at least on part on, the delivery method.

17. The software of claim 10, the available action comprising at least one of billing or cancellation.

18. The software of claim 10, the received information in a first format and the course catalog in a second format, the software further operable to convert the information from the first format to the second format.

19. A system, comprising:

memory operable to store a course catalog; and

one or more processors operable to;

transmit, to a remote learning management system, a request for a course associated with a course type, the remote learning management system operable to provide a plurality of courses based on the request;

receive information associated with the course from the remote learning management system, the information including a delivery method; and

automatically update the course catalog based, at least in part, on the delivery method of the course.

20. The system of claim 19, the delivery method including at least one of web-based training, classroom, virtual classroom, static web-based training, test, or curricula.
