Session Types
This refers to an educational activity's modality. Examples include "Lecture", "Small Group <12", and "Tutorial". These are customizable at the School level.
Add New Session Type
To create a new session type or to review existing session types, click as shown below. A newly created session type can be used for existing or for future sessions being created in Ilios.

To do this ...
Select the Session Type to be modified
Click the "edit" button
Edit the Session Type's title using the provided "Title" field.

De-Activate Session Type
It might be helpful to set a session type to a state / status of "inactive" if it is no longer in use. This does not change the legacy data but will result in the session type no longer being available for selection in Ilios going forward, unless it gets set back to "active". The controls for performing this action are shown below.
session type - de-activate
NOTE: When a Session Type gets de-activated, it is sent to the bottom of this list. The phrase "(inactive)" will be appended to the text description (name) of the session type.
Remove Session Type
Session Types can only be completely removed from the system if they have never been used. This is shown below. Like basically everywhere in Ilios, if the trash can is enabled, the object can be removed from the system.
