Recently, Kenga Solutions was called on by Consilium Academy to develop a website that would be used to offer blended learning courses, courses which were mainly face-to-face, but that had to be purchased online and supported with eLearning technology. After looking around for quite a bit we settled on the combination of:

  • WordPress – for the front end,  registration, hosting payments;
  • Moodle – for the eLearning platform;
  • Woocommerce – for the course “store” and payment;
  • Edwiser Bridge / Edwiser Bundle – for tying it all together. 

All of these are open source software, except for the Edwiser Bundle of tools, which are responsible for connecting WordPress, Woocommerce and Moodle so that courses can be paid for and accessed immediately. The bundle includes all the components needed for this purpose. In essence, Edwiser Bundle creates a WordPress based e-commerce solution, allowing the sale of Moodle courses online via the WordPress / Woocommerce interface. The plugins provided in the bundle include WooCommerce Integration, Single Sign-On, Selective Synchronization, and Bulk Purchase.

This ties it all together and allows for the online sale of both face-to-face and online courses. Students register and pay for a course, and they may be given immediate access to the eLearning platform, or access may be set to a date and time corresponding to the face-to-face course start date.
