Curriculum Tracks
Curriculum Tracks can be used to create specializations or concentrations within programs or to show a course’s language of instruction. If curriculum tracks are created you can:
assign a track to a course
assign a track to a student user
assign a track to an Assessment and Evaluation items, forms and distributions
Curriculum Tracks can be disabled for an organization through a database system setting (disable_curriculum_tracks) This will hide Curriculum Tracks from the System Settings so no administrative users can create tracks. Note that if you have existing curriculum tracks configured and then disable Curriculum Tracks in the database, the existing tracks will still display in the user interface.
How to create a curriculum track
Navigate to Admin > Manage Curriculum.
Select 'Curriculum Tracks' from the left sidebar.
Click 'Add Curriculum Track'.
Fill in the required information noting the following: Track Public URL: If the track has a public URL you'd like to make available, provide it here.
Set a display order. Curriculum Tracks will not automatically display alphabetically.
Click 'Save'.
How to manage existing curriculum tracks
After a track is created you can add an image for the track. Click on the track name to access the Edit Curriculum Track page and then upload an image via the small gray square on the right side. As of ME 1.12, these images will not be displayed anywhere in Elentra.
To quickly change the display order of tracks on the main Curriculum Tracks page drag and drop them into new positions and click 'Save Ordering'.
To delete unneeded tracks click the checkbox beside the track name and click 'Delete Selected'.
How to add a track to a course
Adding courses to a curriculum track is done via individual course setup pages. Please see the the Courses help section for more information.
