UI Details

The UI (course) code which is user-definable and can be up to 20 characters long.

A system of coding should be developed before UI details are entered. If necessary, explicit codes can be used, but each UI must have a unique code.

UI codes for new UIs can be edited if no UIOs, awards, assessments, or links are added to the UI.

Note: Removing any changes added does not make the UI code editable. When a UI code has been made non-editable in either the Curriculum Details or Curriculum Manager, it cannot then be edited on the other screen.

The short description of the UI.

This is used on the Curriculum Details screen and displays in other parts of the system. The description should be as meaningful as possible.

The long description of the UI.

This is a description that can be used when a more meaningful description than the short description is required or available.

The full description of the UI.

This is a description that can be used for external use, where space is available. It can also be used to describe the details involved in studying the course.

The date at which the course is effective from. Click the Calendar button to select a date, if required.

Note: This date is used to differentiate between versions of courses. The date should not be confused with the start date on the course occurrences.

The date at which the course ceases to be effective. Click the Calendar button to select a date, if required.

Note: This date is not compulsory and can be entered when the course is no longer used. The date should not be confused with the end date on the course occurrence.

This setting helps to control the enrolment of learners onto a course. If the curriculum structure is complex, containing parent/child relationship, the institution may want to restrict the enrolment of learners onto the child units.

The qualification type that the course will produce. These codes can be used to identify qualification types linked to courses for analysis at a later date.
