The Course record establishes an individual instance of when a learning event will be or was presented. A Course must be nested under a Course Template. Most fields in the Course Record come pre-filled from the template.

The required fields are:

  • Date / Time and Length (these can later be modified). 
  • Multi-day courses: events 2-7 are optional but will build events on the schedules of the selected colleagues. Additional Date / Time and Length fields appear after the previous row is completed.[1] 

All the other fields are option or come pre-filled. The description can be modified if this course instance’s delivery will differ from the Template.

The Course Name (from Course Template), Date/Time, Length, Location, Leader, and Description will be used to make Event records. This data is visible to all Learners, Preceptors, and Leaders when they review their schedules.

Schedule a Learner / Preceptor to attend the course

Use the toggles to focus the lists of Learners and Preceptors to find attendees across multiple Affiliates

Scheduling a learner or preceptor simply requires checking the box next to their name. 

When adding a new learner or preceptor to the course an event record will be nested to the individual's learner or preceptor record as well as to this course record. Whereas when editing a course where learners and preceptors are already registered the nested event records will be updated. 

There is one event record per learner and per preceptor for each day of the course.

If the Course Template is set up to allow for grading after the first date of the course has passed a Course Grade record will automatically be produced. From that time the Edit Event button will be hidden and instead redirect to grade the attendance at the course[2][3].  The image to the right highlights the like to the Course Grade record that appears automatically after the start time of the first day of the course.

Identifying the target audience for a course limits the survey invitations to be sent to the designated audience members (Learners only, Preceptors only, or Both)


Footnotes

[1] Multi-day events should be used only where the course objectives cannot be met in a single day, example: ALCS or PALS where day 2 is building on content from day 1.

[2] Recording absences is best done on the Course Grade record as the abscence and reason will be documented and communicated via the Weekly Report.

[3] Should a learner or preceptor need to be added once the Course Grade record has been produced, simply archive the Course Grade record, edit the course to reflect the attendance, and then click the Grade Course button to create a new Course Grade record.
