Lazy Registration
This is a configuration setting on a Bright Course Provider that only affects invitations. With this setting, users added to the invitation are only registered in SCORM Cloud on the first launch of the course.
Implications for the API
When setting up "lazy registration", calls to the course API that use the include_registrations field will return registrations that have not been externalled initialized in SCORM Cloud (aka lazy), if the course is from a course provider that sets lazy registration.
Invitation Flow
When lazy registration is active on a course provider, invitation flows create registrations with externally_initialized set to false for courses of that course provider.
Those registrations will appear in invitation/course-related responses before SCORM Cloud creation.
Mixed results between lazy and non-lazy providers
For non-lazy course providers, course API filtering typically requires externally_initialized = true; for lazy providers, that filter is relaxed so pre-launch registrations can be returned. On first launch, Bright initializes externally and flips the registration to initialized.
