Add a Training Intervention

Training Interventions are used to track a student's academic progress. Each assignment and assessment will have its own training intervention. Training interventions can be created in two ways:

• Manually through the training intervention builder
• Automatically through the training intervention import

Both methods will be shown below.

 

METHOD 1: ADD TRAINING INTERVENTIONS MANUALLY

1.      Click Learning Portal.

2.      Click the spanner icon to access the System Administration menu.

 

3.      Click Training Interventions.

4.      Click Add.

5.      Add an appropriate name for the training intervention.

It is recommended to use a naming convention to standardise the training interventions in the academic reports.

All the fields with an asterisk (*) are required.

6.      Select the Pathway Step Type from the dropdown menu. For example:

•        Assessment for an online assessment (quiz, test, or exam)

•        Assignment for an assignment that is uploaded.

•        Certification Point for a certification point at the end of each term

See the Pathways guide for a detailed explanation or contact the Signify Consultant for assistance.

7.      Select the Learning Type from the dropdown menu.

 

8.      Select the Nature of Learning from the dropdown menu.

9.      Select the Training Classification from the dropdown menu.

10.   Select the Training Category from the dropdown menu.

7.      Once you have populated your import file, click Choose File to upload it.

8.      Click Save & Preview to see if your import file will import correctly.

9.      If the preview displays the data correctly and you wish to proceed, click the I verify that the preview of the above data is correct checkbox.

10.   You can execute a Mock Import to troubleshoot and sort out erroneous data.

Alternatively, you can click Execute Import to import the training interventions or click Close to discard any changes.

Please note that newly added training interventions take a day to synchronise on the system.
