<h2>Advanced studyplan editing features</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>The studyplan editor has a number of advanced features that are available under the
|
||
|
|
<span class="text-danger" role="button"><i class="fa fa-cog"></i>Advanced</span> link. (Top-right on the screen in the editor view</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>These features are helpful to the administrator, but can be dangerous if abused.</p>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Course manipulation</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Cascade cohort sync</b> can be used to manually enrol cohorts and users linked to the study plan into the courses that are in the studyplan.
|
||
|
|
If you do not have automatic cascading enabled, you must use this button to do it manually</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>It will create a cohort-sync enrolment to all courses in the studyplan for each cohort you have linked here.
|
||
|
|
It can also automatically remove those enrolments when a cohort is unlinked from a studyplan.</br>
|
||
|
|
Individually linked students can also be cascaded down to the courses (if the feature is enabled). In those cases a manual enrolment is created for the users
|
||
|
|
in each of the studyplan's courses. Those enrolments will never be automatically removed, since that might deprive a student of study content.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Force scales</b> Only useful in <i>Manual</i> aggregation mode. In those cases you may want to enforce a specific scale to all selected gradables in
|
||
|
|
the studyplan. This can save time manually updating all the gradables used in the studyplan to a standerdized grade scale. This tool allows you to do so.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p></p>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Backup and restore</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using the <b>Backup studyplan</b> you can backup an entire studyplan into a .json file.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use <b>restore studylines from backup</b> to import the content (study lines and courses) from a studyplan into the current study plan</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="generalbox alert alert-success"><b>PRO TIP:</b><br>
|
||
|
|
<p>If you are proficient in editing json like data structures, you can manually edit the .json backups and then restore them as new courses.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This is mostly useful if you need to create multiple study plans with only minor changes, or predictable changes
|
||
|
|
(like changing some text in course short names to link to new versions of courses)</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Deleting a studyplan</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>Sometimes you want to delete an entire study plan. This can be done using the button found in the <b>delete</b> tab</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Setting a simple name for the courses</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>By default, the short name of the course will be displayed in the study plan. However, often this name is quite long and has some
|
||
|
|
prefixes or suffixes to distinguish it from other courses that were given in earlier academic years. If you want to display a simpler name,
|
||
|
|
you can op to do so in two ways:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>Display the courses <b>id</b> number</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Display a <b>custom course field</b></li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
<p>Go to <b>Site administration</b> -> <b>Courses</b> -> <b>Studyplans</b> -> <b>Studyplan settings</b><br>
|
||
|
|
Under <b>Course display name</b> you can select if you want to use <i>shortname</i>, <i>ID field</i> or any other previously configured custom field</p>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Grade & Scale interpretation</h2>
|
||
|
|
<div class="generalbox alert alert-info"><b>NOTE:</b><br>
|
||
|
|
<p>The information in this category is mostly applicable to <i>manual</i> aggregation methods for study plans.
|
||
|
|
If <i>Moodle course completion</i> is used, it is especially important to always configure <b>grade to pass</b></p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Note that future versions may use this feature to automatically repair missing <b>grade to pass</b> in gradable activities.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<p>Best practice is to set a <b>grade to pass</b> in all gradable activities in the studyplan. This way the entire system will know
|
||
|
|
if a gradable activity wass passed or failed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>But since teachers are all human, this may occasionally (or regularly) be forgotten. In the absence of a configured <b>grade to pass</b>,
|
||
|
|
the studyplan system will use the values configured here to determine if a grade was a passable grade.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Go to <b>Site administration</b> -> <b>Courses</b> -> <b>Studyplans</b> -> <b>Configure grade & scale interpretation</b> to configure it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Each scale will need to have a <b>completion threshold</b> set. This is the scale value that starts a passing grade.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can also configure certain <b>maximum grade points</b> to have a default passing value (<b>completion threshold</b>)</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>While scales are automatically added and cannot be removed, you can remove previously configured <i>maximum grade points</i>.
|
||
|
|
To do so, check the <b>delete</b> mark next to it, and press <b>save</b> </p>
