How to group modules (SM) in SLcM

[Former Member]

The issue is that at the university different departments are having modules, now in a single program all the modules are either from the same department or from different departments. The requirement is to tag the modules (SM) as per the department, this is called as subject area. This is other than department electives.

How should we tag it or group it ?

Dear Ashwin; you can group modules via the Module Group object/functionality. Via the Module group attributes you can specify more details. The module group category enables you to categorize your module groups. You can specify whether students can select the module groups of a particular module group category as an academic specialization which represents mandatory components of a student’s degree requirements. Students can only register for module group categories defined as “specializations” (major, minor, concentration/emphasis, etc.). Categories, which only serve to combine module groups or modules, are not considered academic specializations and cannot be booked. The module group variant can contain an OR statement (for example, students must select “2 majors” OR “1 major + 1 minor”) and an undefined number of module groups for registration. Related process: You define module group variants by combining module groups identified by their category. This is an attribute of the program of study which controls the assignment of academic specializations.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply, I have categorized the modules as Major/Minors. however i am using the IT 1744 Disciplines to tag the modules.
