Shortened Class Codes
We have noticed discrepancies originating from the fact that multiple class codes have been found to be quite long, this has resulted in it not being synchronised on other systems(such as Moodle), too long for students to type search/reference as well as causing issues in GIMS and Reporting.
An example of a long class code: CT049-3-1-OS-L-APU1F2002CS-CS(CYB)-CS(DA)-CS(IS)-IT(IOT)
The new class codes follow the following minimalist set-up:
Class Code = Cluster ___ Module Code – Class Type ___ ClassStart Date
Examples : APP___CT042-3-1-IDB–LAB-1___2020-06-14 and APP___AAPP004-4-2-JP-LAB-1___2020-11-14
Future Benefits:
To Lecturers and Instructors:
- Automatic Class Code Detection in Attendix (no manual selection)
- Different Class Code for LAB and Tutorial (no manual selection required)
To Academic Administration Team:
- Automatic Class Code Generation
- Automatic Class Creation in SIS (no more event list)
- Automatic Student Enrolment to the Classes
- Automatic Intake Grouping of the Students
- Sending Notification to Students
