Participation Type

This purpose of this function is to enable the maintenance of participation types for use in the Maintain Student Unit Attempt Participation functionality. Each participation type is mapped to a system participation type.

Participation Types are used to classify the possible methods of participation for a student unit attempt, in cases where standard participation recording methods do not suffice.

In certain cases, a standard phrase may be used to describe the participation. Such phrases may be defined using this functionality, and subsequently defaulted to the comments field within the Student Unit Attempt Participation record, where it may be modified.

The following are examples of Participation Types:
