Paradigm Scheduled Unit Fields

Each event in Rapla that differs in the following fields should have an equivalent Scheduled Unit record in Paradigm:

Unit Code

For each unique Unit Code Paradigm Session event type, there must be an equivalent Paradigm Scheduled Unit record in the system where the sessions are stored.

Rapla (Create Paradigm Session)

Paradigm (Add Scheduled Unit)

Campus

If you have multiple campuses, an event with the specific Campus or Home Institution value should be created and should have an equivalent Schedule Unit in Paradigm with the same Campus or Home Institution field.

Rapla (Create Paradigm Session)

Paradigm (Add Scheduled Unit)

Delivery Mode

If a Scheduled Unit has two delivery modes, e.g. Online and On-Campus, there should be two Scheduled Unit records in Paradigm each of them containing a different delivery mode, e.g. BEM101 Online and BEM101 On-Campus.
