Speaking of training/track topic items...
Topics items are the content that comprises class topics. A training/track topic item allows the teacher to add a track or training course from the catalog so class students can take it.
For the students registered in the class to be able to take the training course or the track, it is necessary that they:
- have at least execution permission on the training course or track;
- have permission to register in tracks and training courses, since they are required to request registration as they access the topic item – feature: Learning - Registrations; option: Register in training course/tracks enabled in the permissions in the Control Panel.
A training/track topic item receives the posttest grade set for the track or training course that comprises it. However, this grade is only considered in the calculation of the topic score if a weight greater than zero is assigned to the topic item. If you do not want a training course/track item to be considered in the calculation of the topic score, simply enter zero as its weight.
It is possible to deactivate or reactivate a training course/track topic item. As it is deactivated, it is no longer displayed in the class, even if the student has already started it. When a topic item is deactivated or reactivated, the score of the active students, i.e., those who are still taking the subject, is recalculated. The score is recalculated whenever there is any change in the class topic structure. Inactive registrations are not affected. Inactive topic items are not considered in the calculation of grades. However, for the registrations that were completed prior to deactivation, they continue to be considered.
