Course Assignment Parameters

Each direct course assignment has parameters that govern how and when the course appears to the user in their learning schedule. You can set a deadline and expiry date for each course, and assign a category so that courses appear in groups.

To edit the parameters for a course assignment, click Edit next to the course on the “Course Assignments” page to show the “Course Assignment Parameters” page.

Enter an Expiry date to remove the course from the user’s learning schedule on a particular date. Enter a Deadline if the user should complete the course by a certain date. Refer to the section Edit default deadlines and expiry dates for more information.

Normally, courses appear in the learning schedule in alphabetical order. If you select a Category from the drop down list, the course will appear within a group on the learning schedule. This allows you to group together courses with a common subject so that they do not appear in different areas of the schedule.

Finally, tick the Approved check box to approve the course assignment. Only approved course assignments will appear on the user’s learning schedule.

Click Submit to save the course assignment parameters, or Return to return to the list of current course assignments. Click Delete to delete this course assignment. Deleting a course assignment removes the course from the user’s learning schedule, but it does not delete the training records for the user.

If a user has both a direct assignment and one or more group assignments to the same course, the Learning Management System will compare the parameters from all the assignments. The course will use the earliest expiry date, the earliest deadline, and the highest category.
