Purpose

To allow the definition of Course Offering Options

Course Offering

The Course Offering block (context block) displays the current Course Offering record (context record) from either the Maintain Course Offerings form or the Maintain Course Offering Pattern form. (This will be the same record regardless of the navigation route as the Maintain Course Offering Pattern context record also derives from the Maintain Course Offerings form. The displayed records in the Course Offering Option block are the offering attributes for the context record.

For example, if Course Offering A300 - Bachelor of Arts, version x, Standard Academic Year is displayed in either the Maintain Course Offerings or Maintain Course Offering Pattern forms, and the Course Offering Options button is selected, then this form will display A300 - Bachelor of Arts, version x, Standard Academic Year as the context record and any existing Offering Options relating to this record will be displayed.

Course Offering Option

This block is used to define the ways in which a Course may be studied. A Course Offering Option is the set of attributes which define a way that a Course may be studied. The major attributes defining a Course Offering Option are the Attendance Mode and the relationship to full-time study, Attendance Type. A Course Offering may have more than one Offering Option.
