Curriculum management system
View Patent ↗Methods and systems, including computer program products, for use with a curriculum management system that manages a curriculum comprised of at least a course. The method includes scheduling a booking of the course for a learner; receiving input requesting a modification to the booking; determining whether the booking is an individual booking or a curriculum booking; and processing the modification based on whether the booking is an individual booking or a curriculum booking.
1. A computer program comprising a memory device storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method for managing a curriculum, the method comprising the steps performed by the processor of:
scheduling a booking of a course to be taken by a learner, wherein the scheduling comprises generating an attendance link that associates the learner with the course, the attendance link identifying whether the course is associated with a corresponding curriculum;
receiving input from the learner requesting a modification to the booking;
determining whether the booking represents an individual booking or a curriculum booking based on the generated attendance link; and
processing the modification to the booking based on at least whether the booking represents an individual booking or a curriculum booking.
2. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:
the modification comprises re-booking the course; and
processing the modification comprises not re-booking the course when the booking represents a curriculum booking.
3. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:
the modification comprises re-booking the course; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booked course represents an individual booking:
performing a consistency check with respect to other courses in the curriculum; and
re-booking the course based on an outcome of the consistency check.
4. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:
the modification comprises canceling the course; and
processing the modification comprises not canceling the course when the booking represents a curriculum booking.
5. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:
the modification comprises canceling the course; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booking represents a curriculum booking:
canceling the course;
identifying one or more additional courses within the curriculum for which bookings are invalidated by canceling the course; and
canceling each of the identified additional courses.
6. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:
the modification comprises canceling the course;
the course belongs to a sequence of courses within the curriculum; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booking represents a curriculum booking:
canceling the course;
identifying one or more additional courses within the curriculum that are later in the sequence of courses than the canceled course; and
canceling the identified additional courses that are later in the sequence than the canceled course.
7. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:
the modification comprises a follow-up to the course; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booking is a curriculum booking:
not performing the follow-up to the course until the curriculum has been completed.
8. The computer program product of claim 1 , wherein:
the modification comprises a follow-up to the course; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booking is a curriculum booking:
performing the follow-up to the course even if the curriculum has not been completed.
9. A computer-implemented method for managing a curriculum comprising:
scheduling, using a processor, a booking of a course to be taken by a learner, wherein the scheduling comprises generating an attendance link that associates the learner with the course, the attendance link identifying whether the course is associated with a corresponding curriculum;
receiving, using a processor, input from the learner requesting a modification to the booking;
determining, using a processor, whether the booking represents an individual booking or a curriculum booking based on at least the generated attendance link; and
processing, using a processor, the modification to the booking based on whether the booking represents an individual booking or a curriculum booking.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the modification comprises re-booking the course; and
processing the modification comprises not re-booking the course when the booking represents a curriculum booking.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the modification comprises re-booking the course; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booked course represents an individual booking:
performing a consistency check with respect to other courses in the curriculum; and
re-booking the course based on an outcome of the consistency check.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the modification comprises canceling the course; and
processing the modification comprises not canceling the course when the booking represents a curriculum booking.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the modification comprises canceling the course; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booking represents a curriculum booking:
canceling the course;
identifying one or more additional courses within the curriculum for which bookings are invalidated by canceling the course; and
canceling each of the identified additional courses.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the modification comprises canceling the course;
the course belongs to a sequence of courses within the curriculum; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booking represents a curriculum booking:
canceling the course;
identifying one or more additional courses within the curriculum that are later in the sequence of courses than the canceled course; and
canceling the identified additional courses that are later in the sequence than the canceled course.
15. The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the modification comprises a follow-up to the course; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booking is a curriculum booking:
not performing the follow-up to the course until the curriculum has been completed.
16. The method of claim 9 , wherein:
the modification comprises a follow-up to the course; and
processing the modification comprises, when the booking is a curriculum booking:
performing the follow-up to the course even if the curriculum has not been completed.
