For anyone who is technically minded (and not at the AUA conference this
week?) I have made a fair bit of progress in substituting a course file
of my own design into the SLC database in order to test how to insert
data from an excel spreadsheet. This is replacement of the course data,
but NOT with the dates attached. That still seems to be a manual task.
I am using MS TextPad to edit the data file.
I can insert Course code, full title, method of attendance, length,
institution code, UCAS course (Y/N), Open/Closed. Unfortunately, the
database does not seem to accept data in the fields which (I think) are
used for: qualification, short title, type (Other/PGCE/etc), franchised,
year no., term no., campus. If someone else is making progress along
similar lines, perhaps we could share notes and make some progress.
Please email me directly if you want to discuss this today.
