Programme Managment
- Michael Hughes
As detailed on Class Management each Programme has it's own programme class. This is a Moodle class that is a shared space for all students on a given programme, and also provides tools to allow the students' corp.myplace experience to be tailored to that programme.
For users with editing capabilities, corp.myplace class sites are presented with editing controls visible at all times.
This is different from classes.myplace where users would need to explicitly enable editing mode.
Programme Variants
Where a programme has multiple variants (such as the MBA), a single Programme class can support all of the variants or a separate Programme class supports each individual variant.
As a the programme class will define all of the branding for a Programme, a single class can only support Programme Variants that have the same branding requirements. See details about programme branding
Responsibilities
The programme class is responsible for:
- Providing a shared space for students on a programme, including communication tools that apply to the whole cohort.
- Setting the branding information that will be applied the students when they use corp.myplace
Branding
Corp.myplace offers opportunities for Programmes to be branded and for that branding to extend in to the students' wider experience.
The following image is of a typical Programme Home page that a student would see:
- User menu (access student's profile & switch between modules)
- Highlight colour *
- Programme Welcome Message *
- Home Page byeline 1 *
- Home Page byeline 2 *
- Link to Programme class *
- Partner branding logos *
- Student's modules
The elements marked with a * are customisable from within the relevant programme class.
In addition element such as partner logs and highlight colour will extend into the students' module classes making these consistent with their overall theme's branding.
Where module sites are shared between different programmes or programme variants, their branding elements will match the programme that the individual student is on, so the same module-class may appear cosmetically different to different students.
