Use Case

	Attribute Label
	Description	The Actor (learner) wants to change her short list. This use case starts when the learner views her short list, in order to search for HE courses using the course discovery service, so that she can add a course to her short list. She views her existing short list then calls up a course discovery search page, enters the criteria for her search and the Course Information System returns the search results. The learner can create or amend a short list of courses that she wishes to consider further, so that she can subsequently use the information in the application process. She is able to add or remove a course from her short list or change the order. This use case ends when the learner ends a session of modifying her short list.
