Courses

The course window represents all information about a single course.

When you define a new course, you select the course name, subject, type and start-date. These items cannot later be changed. The start date must be in the future. (If you need to enter a course that starts on the same day you enter it, you will have to enter an additional event). In addition, the course form has the following fields:

• Duration/week represents the usual number of lessons that the course will meet - this is used when KVS needs to forecast the courses future level.
• Expenses per event is the additional reimbursement given to a teacher each time the course meets. For example, if the course takes place outside the school, and the teacher drives to the course location, this could be reimbursement for the teacher's mileage.
• The course level represents the courses current difficulty or degree of advancement. This may be, for example, a chapter number in a book. The second field represents the expected course progress per lesson (not per event).
• Uses additional media - KVS uses this when recommending rooms for course events.
• Open course - if checked, then KVS can recommend this course to other students in the course-counseling window. Otherwise, KVS assumes that this course is not open to further students. If you try to enter a new booking, KVS will warn you that the course is closed.

The buttons at the bottom of the form:

• Booking - Enter a booking for this course.
• Course meetings - Set the regularly scheduled meetings for this course. See the meeting planner.
• Class card - Generate a class-card for this course.
• Bonuses - Customize the bonuses awarded to teachers for this course.
• Course material - enter the standard course material for this course. This information will be displayed on the class card for the course.
