Hello
I think this may have been raised before so I apologise in
advance but if I describe the issues and my work-a-rounds perhaps other
alternatives can be suggested.
We are running BB Enterprise 6.2.3
All our courses are imported from MIS by global services
snapshot tool (I have made may bespoke changes to this myself), by quals so
every course in BB is an individual qual i.e. 0708-Txxx-xx.
Our increased issue is that, say HND Computing is an ‘umbrella’
title with, say 14 modules (these are quals but the umbrella is not classed as
a qual), each student would then be enrolled on the quals that they have
selected for the HND course, so when they login, they see each course in the
course list.
The issue we have is that there is no association / binding
that sees the course associations of modules / courses and groups them together
in an umbrella title, does this make sense?
What I have done is manually create a ‘master’
course and enrol all students from the associated courses onto the master, I then
instruct tutors to put generic information on the master and use the generated
course codes for more course title specific information.
Is this a limitation of BB regarding course association or
global services not correctly identifying course structures and how they
interact?
Have any other institutions come across this limitation and
how have you tackled this?
Many thanks for any information offered.
