[Building Sakai] Free and Paid courses

[Diego del Blanco Orobitg]

Sakai allows you to create "joinable" courses... these can be the free
ones.

In the others ( the non joinable ones) you will need to add the users
(manually or automatically from a e-commerce application). But Sakai is not
an e-commerce application. So you will need an external "e-commerce"
website. Drupal or Magento... there are a lot of options.

If you don't want to enroll manually the users in the sites, as said, the
best idea is to have your web with your market of courses, payment system,
etc... and when a user buy a course in your website, then this website must
send a message to sakai (using the sakai the webservices) and enroll the
user in the course.

This is not too much complex if you can touch your website e-commerce code.

Search for the webservices information in Sakai Confluence and you will be
how this can work.
