Class

A class is defined unit of teaching at the University. Typically this will be listed in the Class Catalogue, but may not appear here if it is not publicily offered (e.g. it is part of a CPD course or for a specific audience).

Every class listed in the Class Catalogue should have a Class Site automatically created for it in Myplace.

The prefered term for a space within Myplace used to deliver content. Equivalent to a Moodle Course. See also Myplace Class Site.

A Class Site is used by teaching staff to deliver the content to support a class. It provides tools for teaching & learning as well as access to a number of administrative features such as:

  • Notices - For communicating with Students
  • Access to the Class' timetable
  • Facilities to report class issues to a class representative

A class site may be a single-class code site or a multiple-class code site

single-class code site

A single-class code site is related to exactly one PEGASUS class code. The associated class code is set in the site's idnumber setting, and typically takes the form of XX999-ACAD-YY-YY .See Single Module Code Site

multiple-class code site

A multiple-class code site has a relationship to more than one  PEGASUS class code. Depending on the nature of the relationships of the class codes, a multiple-class code site may:

  • maintain a link with it's original class code. This will be evident in the idnumber of the site's settings.
  • treat all associated class codes equally. Typically this would result in the name of the site being updated to reflect all of the class codes associated. In this case the idnumber must be blank, and the associated class codes are as listed in the class site's Enrolment Methods page.
