Course Outline Basics
This page will provide the basics of Course Outline in Paradigm.
Overview
A course outline is a guide for all students and instructors to engage in for the whole duration of the course enrolment. Paradigm provides an avenue where you can outline the unit’s components and complexities (involved) in creating a Course Outline, e.g. setting up the core and elective units for a course, adding prerequisite, corequisite, disallowed, required units, etc. A Course Outline can contain all possible units that are permitted for inclusion in the course. Once a Course Outline has been created, unit enrolments can be created by the students or the administration staff.
Course Outline vs Course Plan Screen
The Course Outline screen (Courses > Outline) is intended to be completed by Administration Staff with elevated permission level access. All possible units that contribute to the course, are included in the Course Outline definition, including core, elective, prerequisite, co-requisite, and disallowed units, substitute rules, and constraints. The details included in the Course Outline are used as the basis for defining the Course Plan (Student > Course Enrolment > Course Plan) for a student. The Course Plan can be defined for or by a student, or by administration staff, for a specific student’s course enrolment.
