General Description

Next Course Recommender automates the student’s “next step”: upon completing a course, it sends the event to the SGA and suggests learning paths.

Architecture and Security

  1. Completion Detection

    • Hooks into completion events and validates consistency (avoids false positives).
    • Supports retries: if the SGA does not respond, it queues and re-executes via cron.

  2. Secure Integration

    • REST with HMAC signature (or rotating token) and timestamp validation.
    • Full traceability (request id, status, retries, error codes).

  3. Reliable Enrollment

    • Enrolment as a logical transaction: does not suggest if it cannot enrol.
    • Idempotency control to avoid double enrolment.

Main Features

  1. Cycle automation
    • Less friction: the student doesn’t get “lost” upon finishing.
  2. Conversion-oriented
    • Actionable recommendations + immediate enrolment.
