Edit Groups/Streams

Streams

Student streams are an advanced feature useful for courses which have groups of students rotating through a set of activities. This feature may be useful for large classes where students are doing problem-based learning and are rotating through a set of activities. Streams may also be useful where courses have different loads. Each activity needs an associated date for each stream.

Streams which are set up under Learning Activities Section 4.1 will also be available under Assessment Plan.

Student streams must be set up by the Academic Support Officer.

Groups

As the course profile is to include the information for all instances of a course (including different campuses and different modes) you may wish to create a group for each instance.

If the course has more than one content area and is taught by more than one person you are able to displays this detail in a learning summary as an example 'train building' and 'ship building'. You can also have a learning summary for different people (a) for Dr Smith and (b) for Dr Jones.

Course Convenors are able to create groups.  Please refer to the relevant section in Section 4 Learning Activities and Section 5 Assessment in relation to Groups and Streams on how to add, delete or move a group.

There must always be at least one group and stream – where there is only one group or stream – these will not be visible.

When adding multiple groups, add the details of the second group first, save and the Default Title appears.  You will then be able to edit the name of the Default Title and change the details for your first group.
