NOTE: Default values for small group offerings are applied when the offerings are first created. Offerings that were saved previously will NOT get updated if / when the defaults are changed. The offerings retain the original values that were in place for the Learner Group default values when they were created.
To specify a default location for a small group offering to take place, the following steps can be taken.
Select the Learner Group to modify and click "Click to edit" or if there already is a default location, it will be hyperlinked. Clicking on the text value of the default location will open the editing pane.
After following the step indicated above, the "Click to edit" Default Location field changes into a text box allowing the default location to be entered manually. This is shown below. The default location has been entered for this Learner Group "HSW 322".
Click the green check box or press Enter on the keyboard to save this specification.
Now that it has been saved, "HSW 322" appears as a clickable hyperlink in case changes need to be made. Small Group offerings that get created going forward will obtain this value as the Offering's location. This will not affect or update previous small group offerings associated with this learner group.
The process for adding default instructor(s) is similar to adding the other default values for learner groups with the exception being you can add more than one Instructor or Instructor Group as the default. This fields allows for multiple values to be entered.
Step One
Step Two
After clicking as shown above, the screen adjusts to allow for the search for one or more instructors and/or instructor groups to be performed.
Step Three
Search for and select several Instructors and an Instructor Group. The instructors who are in the group are listed as shown below. The first step, not currently shown in the guide, was to search for "BMB" which resulted in the selection of the "BMB Anatomy Lab Faculty" instructor group. Secondly, a search was performed for "Greene". This is shown below and resulted in the selection of two individual instructors to be added to the seven instructors who are members of the "BMB Anatomy Lab Faculty" instructor group. Nine instructors total have been selected as default instructors for this learner group.
Select Default Instructors
After performing the action shown above, all 7 members of the "BMB Anatomy Lab Faculty" Instructor group along with the 2 individual Instructors have been assigned to be default instructors for any newly created offerings associated with this Learner Group.
After confirming by clicking as shown above in the "select default instructors" image ...
This is used to set a default virtual learning link for this small group. Remote learning has made this important in recent years. The value can be pasted or entered as shown in an updated screen shots shown below.
To finish the process, click the green confirmation button or press enter on the keyboard. Members of "Anatomy Lab Groups 01" will see the default virtual learning link in the offering detail. Every small group offering for this group will obtain these very useful default values.
This is used when one or more learners in a learner group require accommodations to successfully participate in remote learning activities.
Initially (before being set), the toggle appears as shown below. The default for any learner group is "No".
Slide the toggle over to the right by clicking it as shown below.
You can review and verify which learner groups have had this value set. Refer to the arrows in the screen shot below.
These groups are subgroups. From the parent group (one level up), this is how these designations appear.
Learners in these groups will NOT see this anywhere in the offering view on any calendar view, Week at a Glance, or by calendar feed. This is only for administrative purposes.
Using the mouse to hover over the sub groups listing and "needs accommodation" icon will reveal a callout box detailing which sub groups need accommodation. This is shown below.
