2. Lecture 1 + Workshop 1 OR Lecture 2 + Workshop 2
- Diane Momongan (Unlicensed)
Overview
When a scheduled unit has two or more possible predefined session combinations (e.g. Lecture + Workshop) a student can choose from when enrolling on a scheduled unit, but you want to restrict them to only select one combination from all the available session combinations, then this scenario will address that session requirement. Please note that the scenario below is just an example of this possible session requirement, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or inquiries on this scenario.
Scenario 2
A Scheduled Unit with two possible sessions (with predefined combinations, Lecture + Workshop) a student can choose from. When a student will select either of the two sessions, it should also automatically select its other related session class. This scenario will show how groupings and adding session class values in Paradigm behave as already mentioned in the introduction: “Selecting a Session Class will also select all other sessions that share the same Session Class value, AND Session Class is especially useful when there is a need to define a pairing or set of sessions consisting of multiple Session Groups where you want to enforce predefined session enrolment combinations.”
NOTE
You can add as many possible predefined session combinations (e.g. Lecture + Workshop + Tutorial, or Lecture + Tutorial, or Lecture + Lecture, etc.) as long as you code them following the same pattern as the scenario on this article. This way, the student can still see and choose from all the possible sessions you’ve created but is still restricted to choose one and only one session combination to proceed with the scheduled unit enrolment.
Unit Code: BEM1001
Unit Name: Entertainment Since 1945
Available Sessions: Session Type: Lecture and Workshop with 2 possible sessions
Lecture 1 (Monday 9-11, Weekly) if selected should also select Workshop 1 Tuesday (9-11, Weekly)
Lecture 2 (Wednesday 9-11, Weekly ) if selected should also select Workshop 2 Thursday (9-12, Weekly)

Session Type | Session Schedule | Group Number Value | Class Number Value |
|---|---|---|---|
Lecture 1 | Monday (09:00 AM - 11:00 AM) | 1 | 1 |
Lecture 2 | Wednesday (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM) | 1 | 2 |
Workshop 1 | Tuesday (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM) | 2 | 1 |
Workshop 2 | Thursday (9:00 AM - 12:00 AM) | 2 | 2 |
How to Code in Rapla
Create the sessions with the following group and class values or as specified in the table above (see instructions on how to create sessions or events in Rapla).
NOTE:
The coding below applies the same logic when you are using Paradigm when adding sessions in your Scheduled Units, see Add Sessions to Scheduled Units in Paradigm.
Lecture 1: Monday (09:00 AM - 11:00 AM) | Lecture 2: Wednesday (9:00 AM - 11:00 AM) |
|---|---|
 |  |
Workshop 1: Tuesday (9:00 AM - 12:00 AM) | Workshop 2: Thursday (9:00 AM - 12:00 AM) |
Sample Rapla Calendar View
Paradigm Sample Enrolment (Class Times) Screen
Once all your sessions in Rapla are successfully synchronised to Paradigm, you will now see the enrolment (Class Times) Screen, see sample screenshots below.
If the student will select Monday Lecture 1, it will automatically select the Tuesday Workshop 1 session, as both sessions are of the same Class Number which is 1.
If the student will select Wednesday Lecture 2, it will automatically select the Thursday Workshop 2 session, as both sessions are of the same Class Number which is 2.
SUCCESS:
In this scenario, the student can only select (only) one combination (Lecture + Workshop) as you specified to proceed with the enrolment of the scheduled unit. Even if the student will select one of the Workshop sessions first, it will still automatically select the Lecture session combination that you specified.
