Course Ownership

Explanation

This block is used to record the organisational unit(s) which own the context course version. In general, the owner(s) of a course version are responsible for the delivery to students of the course. A course version may be owned by more than one organisational unit in varying proportions.

Example

Course version A300 - Bachelor of Arts, version x is owned by the Faculty of Arts, 100%.

To assign ownership of a course version, using the Maintain Course Ownership form:

Enter Insert Mode.
Select the appropriate owning organisational unit from the list of values (or key a valid organisational unit code) in the Org Unit Code field of a blank record.
If the course version is owned entirely by this organisational unit, enter 100 in the Percentage field.
If the course version is owned by more than one organisational unit, enter the proportion of ownership of this organisational unit (up to 2 decimal places) in the Percentage field. e.g. One third ownership is entered as 33.33
Where a course version is owned by more than one organisational unit, repeat steps 4 to 6 until the total of all percentages is exactly 100.
Save.
Rules:

Ownership of a course version must total 100%.
Course ownership can only be added against organisational units which are ACTIVE.
Course ownership cannot be altered once the Course Version has been made INACTIVE.

To modify ownership of a course version, using the Maintain Course Ownership form:

Select the record to be modified.
Alter the value in the Percentage field.
If there is only one owning organisational unit, the percentage will now be less than 100. It will be necessary to add another owning organisational unit or return the percentage ownership of this organisational unit to 100.
If there is more than one owning organisational unit, the percentages will no longer total 100. Either adjust the percentages of the other organisational unit(s), add an organisational unit or delete an organisational unit until the percentages again total 100.
Save.
Rules:

The Org Unit Code, Org Start Date and Description fields are protected from alteration. Only the Percentage field can be modified.
To change an owning organisational unit, the existing owning organisational unit must be deleted and a new owning organisational unit added.
Any alteration to ownership percentages must still result in the total of all percentages being exactly 100.

To delete an organisational unit from ownership of a course version, using the Maintain Course Ownership form:

Ensure that the correct course version is displayed in the Course Version block.
Select the desired course ownership record.
Delete record.
If any owning organisational units remain, ensure that their percentages are adjusted to total exactly 100.
Save.
Rules:

If, after deleting an owning organisational unit, any owning organisational units still remain, the percentages for the remaining organisational units must be adjusted until their total is exactly 100.

Changes within this form will have the following notable effects:

Assigning ownership of a course version to one or more organisational units will permit use of this information elsewhere in the System. In particular, the information may be used in reports and statistics.
