▫️Scenario 2

This page will describe and demonstrate a scenario when using the Session Group and Class fields in a Paradigm Session event.

Overview

A Scheduled Unit with two possible sessions (with predefined combinations, Lecture + Workshop) a student can choose from. When a student will select either of the two sessions, it should also automatically select its other related session class. This scenario will show how groupings and adding session class values in Paradigm behave as already mentioned in the introduction: “Selecting a Session Class will also select all other sessions that share the same Session Class value, AND Session Class is especially useful when there is a need to define a pairing or set of sessions consisting of multiple Session Groups where you want to enforce predefined session enrolment combinations.”

NOTE:

You can add as many possible predefined session combinations (e.g. Lecture + Workshop + Tutorial, or Lecture + Tutorial, or Lecture + Lecture, etc.) as long as you code them following the same pattern as the scenario in this article. This way, the student can still see and choose from all the possible sessions you’ve created but is still restricted to choosing one and only one session combination to proceed with the scheduled unit enrolment.

Example Scheduled Unit Details

Unit Code: BEM1001

Unit Name: Entertainment Since 1945

Available Sessions: Session Type: Lecture and Workshop with 2 possible sessions

Lecture 1 (Monday 9-11, Weekly) if selected should also select Workshop 1 Tuesday (9-11, Weekly)

Lecture 2 (Wednesday 9-11, Weekly ) if selected should also select Workshop 2 Thursday (9-12, Weekly)

Session Type	Session Schedule	Group Number	Class Number
Lecture 1	Monday (09:00 AM - 11:00 AM)	1	1
Lecture 2	Wednesday (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM)	1	2
Workshop 1	Tuesday (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM)	2	1
Workshop 2	Thursday (9:00 AM - 12:00 AM)	2	2

How to Code in Rapla

Create the sessions with the following group and class values or as specified in the table above. Refer to Paradigm Session for the workflow.

Lecture 1: Monday (09:00 AM - 11:00 AM)	Lecture 2: Wednesday (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM)

Workshop 1: Tuesday (9:00 AM - 12:00 AM)	Workshop 2: Thursday (9:00 AM - 12:00 AM)

Rapla Calendar View

Paradigm Enrolment (Class Times) Screen

Once all your sessions in Rapla are successfully synchronised to Paradigm, you will now see the enrolment (Class Times) Screen, see sample screenshots below.

If the student will select Monday Lecture 1, it will automatically select the Tuesday Workshop 1 session, as both sessions are of the same Class Number which is 1.

If the student will select Wednesday Lecture 2, it will automatically select the Thursday Workshop 2 session, as both sessions are of the same Class Number which is 2.

SUCCESS:

In this scenario, the student can only select (only) one combination (Lecture + Workshop) as you specified to proceed with the enrolment of the scheduled unit. Even if the student will select one of the Workshop sessions first, it will still automatically select the Lecture session combination that you specified.
