Activities
Activites are the things students are expected to attend for a module. These are from the student’s perspective. The module window shows the currently planned activities as well as the expected hours based on the structured learning activities (SLA) planned for this module.
Activities
Name | Description | Example |

Duration | The length of each session (in hours) | 2 |
Week Range(s) | The study-block weeks this activity will run in | 1-5,7-9 |
Week Count | The total number of weeks the activity runs for (automatically calculated) | 6 |
Staff per Session | How many staff should be attached to each session? | 1 |
Students per Group | How many students should be in each session? | 15 |
TIP If an activity doesn’t need to be repeated, leave students per group blank - the tool should show (everyone)
Mangaging Iterations
Once an activity has been created, you need to create iterations to tell the tool which staff and rooms should be attached to the activity. If you do not do this, the activity will not be scheduled.
The tool will try to calculate the required iteration count based on the students attached to the module, and the provided ‘students per group’ if the number of iterations does not match, a warning triangle should be displayed next to the activity.
