Course Delivery

1. Overview

The core LMS workflow: course authoring, content delivery, enrollment, completion tracking, and transcript posting. Masters courses, course_enrollments, learning_records. Realizes COURSE-AUTHOR and CONTENT-DELIVERY capabilities. The backbone module every LMS deployment installs first; the other LMS modules embedded_master courses to reference content.

Course Versions	course_versions	Versioned snapshots of a course’s content, required to record which version each learner completed for compliance.
Courses	courses	Learning units such as e-learning modules, videos, live sessions, or blended programs, with format, duration, and prerequisites.
Learning Content Assets	learning_content_assets	Reusable content assets (video, PDF, image, audio) referenced by lessons and modules.
Learning Records	learning_records	Granular completion events for a course or activity (actor, verb, object, result, timestamp) feeding skill profiles and certifications.
Lessons	lessons	Individual lessons inside a course module: a video, document, SCORM block, or live activity.
LRS Statement Endpoints	lrs_statement_endpoints	External Learning Record Store endpoints that xAPI learning statements are routed to.
Observation Checklist Results	observation_checklist_results	Scored learner results against observation checklists, with observer signoff.
Observation Checklists	observation_checklists	On-the-job competency checklists that an observer scores against for field-skill assessment.
Question Banks	question_banks	Reusable pools of assessment questions independent of any single test, drawn from for randomized quizzes and recertification exams.
Quiz Responses	quiz_responses	Item-level learner responses to quiz questions, captured for per-question review and psychometric analysis.
SCORM Packages	scorm_packages	Imported e-learning content packages in standard formats, carrying the content manifest and runtime tracking state.
xAPI Statements	xapi_statements	Experience-API event log entries capturing actor-verb-object learning activity inside or outside the learning system.
Cost Centers	cost_centers	Organizational units for cost allocation, with code, manager, hierarchy, and currency, driving variance and departmental reporting.
Employees	employees	Canonical records of people currently or formerly employed, carrying identity, employment metadata, and links to position, manager, and org unit.
Org Units	org_units	Nodes in the organizational hierarchy such as divisions, departments, and teams, with manager, cost center alignment, geographic scope, and parent-child links.
Positions	hcm_positions	Approved org slots with role definition, cost center, reporting line, location, and FTE allocation. Each can be open, filled, or eliminated.

6.2 Outbound handoffs (events this scope publishes)

source module	target domain	target module	trigger_event	transition	payload	integration	friction	description
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HRSD	HRSD-CASE-MGMT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Termination kicks off offboarding case (exit interview, knowledge transfer, paperwork). Multiple downstream HRSD tasks created.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	high	New employee in HCM triggers directory account creation and birthright-role assignment in IGA. High friction because role-to-entitlement mappings drift per business unit, and IGA frequently needs additional context (cost center, manager, location) that arrives later in the journey. Same trigger event as the HCM → Onboarding and HCM → Payroll handoffs.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Promotion (mover event) requires entitlement re-evaluation: add new role access, revoke prior-role access. SoD risk window during transition.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	high	Termination in HCM must immediately revoke identity access in IGA: disable account, remove group memberships, terminate app-level entitlements. Failure modes: contractor terminations not flowing (different HCM table); rehires confuse the de-provisioning idempotency; access lingers after termination is the canonical audit finding.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	org_unit.created	(state_change)	org_units	event_stream	medium	New org unit drives IGA group/role provisioning. Group-name conventions and ownership must be encoded; otherwise orphan groups proliferate.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	org_unit.disbanded	(state_change)	org_units	event_stream	high	Org-unit disbandment requires IGA group cleanup; orphan-group risk if employees re-assigned slowly.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	IGA	IGA-ACCESS-REQUEST	org_unit.merged	(state_change)	org_units	event_stream	high	Org-unit merge consolidates IGA groups: members migrate, entitlements deduplicated, SoD revalidated. Often runs as a batch project rather than event.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HCM	HCM-LIFECYCLE-WORKFLOWS	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	lifecycle_progression	low	New worker record surfaces in self-service: manager dashboard, new-hire welcome surface, lifecycle task inbox. In-process state read; no message bus.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	HCM	HCM-LIFECYCLE-WORKFLOWS	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	lifecycle_progression	low	Termination drives the offboarding self-service flow: exit-interview prompt, equipment-return task, knowledge-handoff surfaces in the lifecycle workflow module.

LMS-COURSE-DELIVERY	HCM	HCM-LIFECYCLE-WORKFLOWS	learning_record.posted	(lifecycle)	learning_records	event_stream	low	Authoritative learning transcript visible in HCM employee record.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	medium	New employee in HCM triggers comp profile activation in Payroll: gross-to-net rules selected by jurisdiction, deductions initialised, bank account and tax setup collected via Onboarding flow. Same trigger event as the HCM → Onboarding handoff; both subscribe to the employee.created event.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Promotion typically includes salary change. Effective-dated change must flow to PAYROLL with retroactive handling.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PAYROLL	PAYROLL-RUN	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Termination drives final pay (severance, accrued PTO payout, prorated bonus). Cross-vendor stack when HCM and PAYROLL are different vendors; retro-adjustments are common.

HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	ATS	ATS-RECRUITMENT-PIPELINE	hcm_position.approved_for_creation	approved_for_creation (lifecycle)	hcm_positions	event_stream	medium	Approved position flows to ATS as the basis for a requisition.

HCM-CORE-WORKER	TALENT-MGMT	TALENT-PERFORMANCE-MGMT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	low	New employee triggers talent-profile initialisation in Talent Management: career aspirations, mobility preferences, skills profile stubs. Same employee.created trigger as Onboarding / Payroll / IGA handoffs.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	TALENT-MGMT	TALENT-PERFORMANCE-MGMT	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Promotion updates succession-plan slots and 9-box placement context.
LMS-COURSE-DELIVERY	TALENT-MGMT	TALENT-SUCCESSION-CAREER	course_enrollment.completed	(lifecycle)	course_enrollments	event_stream	low	Course completion updates skill-profile; TALENT-MGMT reflects in dev-plans and succession.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	WFM	(domain-level)	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New employee provisioned in HCM becomes a schedulable resource in WFM - identity, position, base FTE. Mid-shift onboarding and badge-binding are typical edge cases.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New-hire creation provides compensation basis. Bands and grades attach via job profile.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Promotion event triggers off-cycle compensation review (eligibility, band placement, increase recommendation) in COMP-MGMT.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	hcm_position.approved_for_creation	approved_for_creation (lifecycle)	hcm_positions	event_stream	low	Approved position carries grade/band, anchoring offer-comp generation.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	BEN-ADMIN	BEN-ENROLLMENT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	New-hire creation seeds benefits eligibility (waiting periods, default elections). Drives carrier feed setup at end of new-hire window.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	BEN-ADMIN	BEN-ENROLLMENT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	high	Termination triggers benefits termination, COBRA / equivalent notices, and dependent coverage decisions. Late notifications cause coverage gaps.
HCM-ORG-POSITIONS	FIN	(domain-level)	org_unit.created	(state_change)	org_units	api_call	medium	New org unit usually maps to cost-center; ERP-FIN must reflect the structure for budgeting and labor allocation.
FIN-GL-CLOSE	EPM	(domain-level)	cost_center.created	(lifecycle)	cost_centers	event_stream	low	New cost centers get a plan slot in EPM.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	EXPENSE	(domain-level)	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Termination triggers EXPENSE corporate-card deactivation and outstanding-report close-out.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-PROJECT-DELIVERY	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Terminated employee may be the assignee on open project_tasks. PROJECT-DELIVERY needs to surface affected tasks for reassignment or completion handover.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	attrition_risk.high	(state_change)	employees	event_stream	high	ML attrition score crosses high threshold. PSA resource managers may proactively rebalance assignments away from at-risk consultants on critical engagements. High friction: probabilistic→deterministic pattern (score requires judgment call), false-positive volume can swamp the staffing queue.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New consultant hired. PSA resource pool adds the employee as available capacity; skill inventory record is seeded for downstream certifications.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.promoted	(lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	Consultant promoted (level / job profile change). PSA reevaluates billable rate band and skill inventory; existing project_assignments may need rate revision.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PSA	PSA-RESOURCE-MGMT	employee.terminated	terminated (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Consultant terminated. PSA must release any active project_assignments, return capacity to bench and re-allocate forecast. Medium friction: leaver-event timing varies (immediate vs notice period) and active assignments may need urgent rebalancing.

target module	source domain	source module	trigger_event	transition	payload	integration	friction	description
HCM-CORE-WORKER	ATS	ATS-CANDIDATE-CRM	candidate.hired	hired (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	medium	Candidate-to-employee conversion: hired candidate from ATS triggers employee-record creation in HCM. Field mapping (candidate → employee) is rarely perfect; missing fields (legal name spelling, work-eligibility detail, tax IDs) get collected in the Onboarding journey and back-filled into HCM.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	COMP-MGMT	COMP-PLANNING	merit_cycle.approved	approved (state_change)	employees	event_stream	low	Cycle-close pay-rate changes post to the worker record (base salary, bonus target, equity guideline).
HCM-CORE-WORKER	EMP-EXP	EMP-EXP-CONTINUOUS-LISTEN	attrition_risk.high	(state_change)	employees	api_call	high	Attrition-risk inference from engagement signals surfaces to managers via HCM dashboards. Probabilistic-signal → deterministic-action pattern: a risk score is not a directive; intervention is gated by manager judgment, data-privacy rules (anonymity floor), and DEI-bias concerns.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	PA	PA-PREDICTIVE-MODELS	attrition_risk.high	(state_change)	employees	event_stream	high	Flight-risk score flagged on employee; HR-business-partner motion required. Probabilistic-signal-to-deterministic-action friction shape; false-positive volume drives mistrust.
HCM-CORE-WORKER	MDM	(domain-level)	employee_golden_record.created	active (lifecycle)	employees	api_call	medium	Resolved identity → HCM links operational HR record.
LMS-COURSE-DELIVERY	HCM	HCM-CORE-WORKER	employee.created	created (lifecycle)	employees	event_stream	low	New-hire creation provisions required-training assignments (compliance, role-based). Drives day-one and 30-day learning workflows.
