Generate specialization groups
Once you have generated the programs, automatically generate the specialization groups: the groups, class parts and their links are created in such a way that a student can follow his or her three specializations whatever the class. Once the groups and their alignments have been defined, allocate resources to the groups/classes, then try to optimize the number of classes per group.
Step 1: Generate the required number of groups
- Go to the display Timetable > Specializations and needs >
Generation of the specialization groups. - In the panel Needs for groups per subject, double-click in the columns Min. pop. and Max. pop. to modify the minimum/maximum population of the groups for each subject.
By clicking on the icon in column No. Gr. you can customize the minimum and maximum population for each group. - Select the distribution mode By distributing the groups in X alignments, the click on the button Generate the necessary groups: the list of required groups is displayed on the right of the screen, with the planned alignment indicated in the corresponding column.
Step 2: Finalize the generation of the groups
- Go to the display Timetable > Specializations and needs > Generation of the specialization groups.
- In the panel Necessary groups, indicate the teachers in the corresponding column.
- Go to the display Timetable > Students>
List, sort the list according to the criterion of your choice, select the students to be grouped in the same class, right-click and select the command Modify > Class. - Go to the display Timetable > Specializations and needs > Generation of the specialization groups, then click on the button Limit the number of classes per group.
- On the bottom right, click on the button Assign the students to the groups according to their choice of electives: a confirmation window appears, click on Yes.
It is also possible to create specialization subgroups in EDT.
Step 3: Generate the specialization courses
The specialization courses planned for the same time slot are automatically aligned into a complex course if you generated the specialization groups with the mode By distributing the groups over X alignments and obtained a satisfactory result.
- Go to the display Timetable > Specializations and needs > Generation of the specialization groups.
- Select all the groups, then click on the button Create the courses of the selected groups on the bottom right: a window Course creation configuration appears.
- Configure the duration/frequency of the course block to be aligned and adjust the number of copies accordingly.
Do not enter the unavailability, unless you have already "reserved" half-days for specialization studies. - Click on the button Validate: a confirmation window appears. Leave the option Align courses while complying to the planned alignments ticked and click on Yes: you will be automatically redirected to the course list. A single comprehensive course has been created for each alignment (A or B), with one class meeting per group, multiplied by the number of copies requested (in this case, two copies of a 3-hour class meeting for the alignment A / two copies of a 3-hour class meeting for alignment B).
