Templates

Templates for recurring activities

In the next step, Templates, you can create templates for activities that will recur multiple times during the course. Instead of creating the same activity several times, you create it once. In the next step (Weeks) you will place the activity in the weeks it should take place.  

Add template

To create a recurring activity, click Add Template:

Activity

When you have created a template, start by specifying the type of activity it applies to, under Activity.

Activity Slots

Here you specify how many time slots the activity should have in the schedule each time it occurs.

For example, each individual lecture is probably held only once - then choose the number 1.

While one and the same lab may have to be held on five different occasions - then choose 5.

In the following example, the seminar activity has been created to be held on two occasions, i.e. get two different time-slots (appearing twice) in the schedule:

Groups

Under Groups, you specify how many groups (and thus how many halls) each time slot (session) should be divided into. In the example of the seminar with two time slots, we have now specified that each session consists of one group. The scheduler will then book one room per session, which holds half the class:

Duration

Under Duration, enter the number of hours the activity should last.

Template Name

It is a good idea to give your template a name to distinguish it from other templates:

Examination Module  

For examining elements, you need to select an examination module. Modules that are linked to your course event will appear as suggestions:

Staff

Staff is important to fill in so that the person is not double booked.

When you start filling in the field, you will get a list of the teachers related to the course event.

If you want to choose a teacher who does not appear in the list, unselect "Show related objects":

Own room

You check Own room if responsibles will arrange a room for the activity themselves, and the schedulers should not book a room.

Digital activity

Select Digital activity for activities given remotely:

Joint Teaching With

If the activity is to be given together with another course, you indicate which course event under Joint teaching with. Co-reading programs are then filled in automatically.

Total Number of Students

Enter the total number of students for the joint activity.

Please note that this field is only used for joint teaching:

Comments for Students

If you want to add a text that should be shown in the schedule, use the “Comments for students” field. The text can be edited after the schedule has been published.

NOTE: If you leave a comment in this step, it will appear on all activities in the template. If you instead want unique text on different activities, wait until a later step.

Comments for Scheduler

In the “Comments for scheduler” field, you can add requests or information for the scheduler.

NOTE: If you leave a comment in this step, it will appear on all activities in the template. If you instead want unique text on different activities, wait until a later step.

Copy/Delete Template

You can copy or delete templates by clicking on the copy and trash bin icons, respectively:
