Creating and Managing APT Instances Using the Academic Progress Tracker Component

Generating Academic Items

As mentioned previously, the process of adding an APT instance involves two steps. The first is the creation of a header record using the fields described above. The second step is the generation of the academic items or program requirements for a selected program item. This could be a single item (for the program itself) if the program item is a shell for a customized student specific program, or it could be an extensive list of requirements that are nested under the program item in a series of layers or levels. The item generation process does the following:

1. Evaluates the TERM_TBL to find the start date of the student’s Requirement Term (SSR_APT_HDR.REQ_TERM).

2. Using that date, it retrieves the maximum active effective dated row for the PRG item (from SSR_AIR_HDR) where the effective date is less than or equal to the Curriculum Term start date.

3. Retrieves all Academic Item rows for the PRG item and its children, all child items of the PRG’s children and so on.

The list of items returned (on the AIR Tree page) represents a view of all the items that are tied to the PRG academic item in the header. These are the items that can be added from AIR to the student’s APT instance.

Using the Create Planning Node Function

The Create Planning Node function simulates the APT Request action of Create Plan Node(s) by inserting all of the academic items for the first or subsequent sections of a student’s program of study by adding academic item(s) identified as Planning Nodes (in the Program Format definition).

See Setting Up Program Formats

The placement of the planning node (and selected child items) will open that particular section of the program–for example a stage, year or semester–for planning and enrollment.

The Create Planning Node function adds:

• The selected item (that is, the item identified as a Planning Node and where the icon appears).

• All ancestors in the lineage that are not already in APT.

• AND

• All non-COURSE immediate child items (for example a ‘stage’ or ‘study period').

• Any descendent items that have an enrollment category for which SSR_ENRL_CAT.SSR_AUTOMOVE_APT = 'Y'.

When Phase 1 is created, the following items will be added to APT:

See Setting Up Enrollment Categories for Program Requirements

Using the Add Function

You can also add academic items to an APT instance on an individual basis using the Add function. For example the Add button can be used to add courses when you must select one or more courses from a list. When items are added to a student’s APT in this way however, the relationship of that item to other items in the AIR tree must be recorded in order to maintain the structure of the program at an individual student level. Because it is possible to add an item without also adding its parent, the ancestors of an item are also added if they have not themselves been added to the APT instance.

In most cases the Add function adds the selected item to APT as well as all ancestors in the lineage, up through the PRG root, that do not already exist in APT. The exception is course items that are not associated with an item that equates to Term.

See Assigning Term Values to Courses

In the example above, if you added course ECON 220 (highlighted in the example page) and no other items had been added to the APT for Part 2 B.A. Economics, the following items would also be added:

• ECON 220 (00000000511– selected item)

• Economics Year 2 Options (Course List: 00000000568 – parent of selected item)

• Year 2 - Semester 2 (Study Period: 00000000581 – parent of Course List)

• Year 2- B.A. Economics (Stage: 00000000579 – parent of Study Period)

• Part 2 - BA Economics Program (Phase: 00000000578– parent of Stage)

Include in Calculation	When this check box is cleared, all attempts/results for this item are ignored for result calculation purposes by the Rules Engine and system calculated results. Note: This feature is planned for the future.

APT Items Page: Adding Child Items

In most cases, the items (courses and so on) that are added to an APT instance will be drawn from the items that are linked to the student’s program. However, in some cases it might be necessary to make changes to a student’s program by adding items that are not linked directly to the student’s program of study or to remove items that are part of the program requirements defined in AIR. A typical example is where the student, usually in consultation with an advisor, is allowed to create a personalized or customized set of courses. This could apply to whole program or to a section of a program - a year or semester for example. In this case, it is likely that you will define an item that is really a placeholder for the program itself, or the year of program, to which you will add child items to represent the student’s custom program. However, the Add feature allows you to add child items to an APT item with some exceptions.

When you add an item, you are presented with a list of values that is compiled as follows:

• If the current item is a Program Format Tree Node, the prompt lists all academic items that have an academic type specified as a valid child item in the Academic Item Type Matrix.

  See Identifying Child Item Types and Syncing Entities

• The prompt also excludes those items that have an item type defined as a Program Format Tree Node. This ensures that any changes to the program structure conform to the Program Format for the item.

• All available COURSE items (unless the item is being added as a child of a COURSE – except where the current item is a Course Group, in which case a secondary page will list the courses that match the Course Group parameters).

Example: Add Child item to Year 1 of Program BA Economics:

• BA Economics has a Program Format comprised of Academic Item Types: PRG (Program), PHASE (Part 1 and 2), STAGE (Year), and STUDYPERIOD (term/semester).

• Year 1 has an Academic Item Type of Year with an Item Type of STAGE.

• Therefore, the available items to be added as child items would be all valid child items (according to the Item Type matrix) of the item type STAGE, excluding PRG, PHASE, STAGE, STUDYPERIOD, plus all available COURSE items.

APT Items Page: Substituting APT Items

The APT Item structure supports the need to substitute prescribed program content (academic items) with courses or other types of academic items. The substitution process typically involves the swapping of one course for another, but it is also possible to substitute different types of academic items, as well as the replacement of one item with many items. It is also possible to replace an item of one type with one (or more) of a different type.

The prompt lists all non-program format tree node academic items (with effective dated logic) that are valid child items (according to item type matrix) of the parent item of the item which is being substituted.

After an item has been selected, the Substitution function performs the following actions:

Substituted Item

• Selects the Substituted check box for the item.

• Creates a pointer on the substituted item to the Replaced with items.

The Replaced with item is inserted into the APT Instance:

• Sets the parent value of the item to that of the substituted item.

• Ties the new item to the substituted item by recording that APT Item Sequence number of the substituted item.

• Note: The Process Substitution button is not available for the replacement item(s).

Reversing an APT Item Substitution

To reverse a substitution:

• On the substituted item: Delete the Replaced with value(s) using the Replaced with delete button.

• Delete the replacement item using the Item Delete button.

APT Items Page: Academic Item Attempt Level

An APT item can have multiple attempts. For example, if a student needs to retake a Year 1 course during Year 2, you could add a new attempt row under the Year 1 item, rather than moving that item from year to year. Each attempt has attributes attached to it.

Field or Control	Definition
Create New Attempt	This button is available if the attempt Eligible for Retake check box is selected (see information about this check box later in this section). When you click this button, a new attempt row is created for this item. The system also creates new attempts for any unlocked child item attempts for which the Eligible for Retake check box is selected. This is optional.
Add Notes	Transfers to a secondary page Item Attempt Notes where you can add notes and comments.
	Locks the attempt. A locked item attempt cannot be updated: all fields at the attempt and result level are display only.
	Unlocks the item attempt.
Attempt Nbr	A system assigned value. Multiple attempts can exist for an APT item.
Approval Status	This field is used when approval is required for enrollment planning - that is, when an advisor must approve the course entries in the student’s APT for a particular stage/study period before the student enrolls. The approval requirement is based on the Requires Approval check box on the Academic Item Registry page. Note: This feature is planned for the future.
Attempt Status	This field indicates that enrollment/credit requirements for an item attempt have been completed (20: Completed) and when the attempt can be counted towards satisfying the item itself and for result calculation (60: Finalized).
Attempt Outcome	This field will indicate whether the item attempt was successfully completed.
Print in Transcript	This value can be used to determine if an item attempt is included in user defined transcript or report.
Eligible for Retake	If the value in this field is Yes, the item can be retaken. This field is used to determine whether a new attempt is created. Refer to the “Managing Retake Processing” documentation section later in this topic.
Include in Calculation	When multiple attempts exist, select this check box to indicate which attempt should be used to determine the status/result for an academic item. The check box is selected by default.
Course ID, OfferNbr, and Course Topic ID	These values display for Course academic items

Academic Item Attempt Schedule grid:

For information about Personalized Timeline,

See Using the APT Timeline

Field or Control	Definition
Seq Nbr	A system assigned number. An academic item attempt can have more than one schedule sequence. This could happen if a student completes an item over a number of terms. A typical example might be where a program is organized into Year 1, Year 2 and so on and where a part time student could take more than the prescribed 2 semesters to complete the requirements.
Year of Program	This field is populated when: APT row has an Academic Item Type which is equated to Year of Program (in the program format definition for the program). APT row has an Academic Item Type which is equated to Term (in the program format definition for the program). APT row has an Academic Item Type of COURSE.
Academic Year	This field is populated when The student’s APT header has an Enrollment Cohort value which been mapped to term values (this is not required) or a Personalized Timeline has been established and APT row has an Academic Item Type which is equated to Term (in the Program Format definition for the program). APT row has an Academic Item Type of COURSE.
Term	This field is populated when: The student’s APT header has an Enrollment Cohort value which been mapped to term values (this is not required) or a Personalized Timeline has been established and APT row has an Academic Item Type which is equated to Term (in the Program Format definition for the program). APT row has an Academic Item Type of COURSE.
Session	This field is populated when: The student’s APT header has an Enrollment Cohort value which been mapped to term and session values (this is not required) or a Personalized Timeline has been established and APT row has an Academic Item Type which is equated to Term (in the Program Format definition for the Program). APT row has an Academic Item Type of COURSE. See: Assigning Year of Program, Academic Year and Term (STRM) Values to Academic Items added to APT later in this section.
Academic Period	This field is for future use.
Start Date and End Date	The start and end dates for the academic item. These fields are intended primarily for non-course based academic items that might not necessarily be scheduled in term/session–an internship for example. These dates can be used to provide a time frame for an item that is not tied to a formal academic teaching period. For course items, the Start Date and End Date fields are replaced with the other fields as in the following example page.

Field or Control	Definition
Progress Level	Indicates the status of the COURSE being applied to this item/attempt. When a course item is added to APT, this value is set to Planned. After a student is enrolled in a class section of the course, the value is set to In Progress. If the student subsequently drops the class section and it is deleted from STDNT_ENRL or retained in 'Dropped' status, the Progress Level value is set to Dropped. The level is set to Completed after a grade is present in STDNT_ENRL (the grade must earn credit). See Managing APT Enrollment See the Student Enrollment Event document on My Oracle Support Doc ID 1400723.1.
Credit Type	Indicates whether the course is being completed or was completed through class enrollment or from transfer credit.
Search	Launches a process to find a match for the COURSE item in STDNT_ENRL or Transfer Credit Model (including Test and Other Credit).
Career	Displays the student’s career for the matching STDNT_ENRL row (as opposed to the course career).

Values appear in the remaining fields based on the matching STDNT_ENRL row.

Here is an example in which the Credit Type is Transfer Credit:

Values in the fields such as Career, Transfer Model Nbr and so on appear based on the matching Transfer Credit row.

APT Items Page: Attempt Schedule Search

This feature simulates the processing that occurs after a student is enrolled by providing a link to the source of the course credit. For enrollment, this link is established by an Enrollment Sync process that performs updates to a student's APT instance after enrollment is processed by the enrollment engine.

See Managing APT Enrollment

See the Student Enrollment Event document on My Oracle Support Doc ID 1400723.1.

The Search function creates this link by finding a match for a particular course and save the keys to the enrollment or transfer credit row in the appropriate table. The search process attempts to find a match in STDNT_ENRL and Transfer Credit, using the EMPLID and INSTITUTION of the instance as well as the CRSE_ID, CRSE_OFFER_NBR, and CRSE_TOPIC_ID (if they are present). If more than one match is found, you can select from the results.

Enrollment (STDNT_ENRL):

• When the matching row is selected, the row is saved to a new table SSR_APT_ENRL.

• Academic Year/Term on the schedule row is updated if the term of the matching course is different. For example, if a course is assigned to 0690 and the only match is in 0630, the term and academic year values are updated.

Transfer Credit

• When the matching row is selected, the row is saved to a new table SSR_APT_TRCR.

• Academic Year/Term on the schedule row is updated if the articulation term of the matching course is different. For example, if a course is assigned to 0690 and the only match is in 0630, the term and academic year values are updated.

APT Items Page: Assigning Year of Program, Academic Year and Term (STRM) Values to Academic Items added to APT

Although the APT data is not defined by term, you still need to track data by academic year/term as well as by the Year of Program (YOP) attribute. Using a combination of the Program Format definition attached to the PRG item and (if one exists) the Enrollment Cohort term and definition for the student, data is recorded as items are added to the APT so that you can query the data by academic year, term, or a student’s year of program.

Here is an example of Program Format/Enrollment Cohort data:

The Program Format nodes which are equated to Year of Program and Term determine which academic items will be used to record year of program, academic year, and term data in APT.

A session level can also be defined for use in term configurations where a term (STRM) value represents an academic year and a session (SESSION_CODE) is used to represent ‘term’ (for example, semester 1, semester 2). See: Academic Year and Term Data with Session Level section below.

See Setting Up Program Formats

Equates to Year of Program Items: Year of Program Data:

• A year of program value is assigned as the academic items equated to Year of Program (in the Program Format definition) are added to the APT.

  Academic Year, Term and Session (if applicable) values are also assigned. In this case the term value is assigned based on the term values that are assigned to the child equates to term item (BA Econ Year 1 - Semester 1 - see below).

• The example above shows Year 1 – B.A. Economics. When Year 2 is added (as a result of seeding or a course being added to APT) this will be assigned to 2nd Year and so on.

Equates to Term (EQT) Items: Year of Program, Academic Year and Term Data:

This data is recorded for the following:

• Academic Item(s) equated to Term (in the program format definition for the program).

• All COURSE academic items.

A year of program, academic year (derived from the term) and term are recorded for each of these.

For information about Personalized Timeline,

See Using the APT Timeline

Field or Control	Definition
Year of Program	If the item is also equated to year of program, this value is taken from the Program Format definition; otherwise the value is determined using the program definition value for a parent, grandparent and so on. In this example, the YOP value from the parent STAGE item is used to determine the value for the STUDYPERIOD.
Academic Year	The TERM_TBL.ACAD_YEAR value for the term value (STRM) returned from the Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline (see Term).
Term	Uses the Node ID associated with the Academic Item Type in the Program Format definition, to fetch the term value from the student’s Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline (if one exists). In this example, the STUDYPERIOD academic item has been identified as equating to term. A look-up is performed on the Enrollment Cohort using the Node IDs defined in the Program Format (this should be consistent if programs are defined using Build Program by Format).
Session	If the Program Format includes session level and the Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline has Equates to Term nodes mapped to combinations of Term and Session, a session value will also be assigned.

Academic Year and Term Data with Session Level:

Year of Program and Equates to Term (and Session) levels can be tracked separately if the program format is defined this way. The following example shows an enrollment cohort based on a program format that has distinct equates to term (YEAR) and session (SEMESTER) items and how this data is recorded in APT:

With this configuration, the Year of Program and Equates to Term values are tracked at different levels because term can now be tracked down to the session level:

Course Items:

YOP, Academic Year and Term data is recorded for COURSE items as they are added to APT (either through the seeding process or as an individual course is added). The values are assigned in one of two ways:

1. The value is derived from the parent item when that item is equated to YOP and/or term (for example if a course is the child of a study period). See a) below.

2. If the COURSE (or its parent) is not directly linked to an item that is equated to a term, the value is manually assigned by the user selecting from a list of values. See b) below and also see the following section “Assigning Term Values to Courses”.

a) If the value is derived as the COURSE is added:

• Year of Program: If the COURSE (or its parent, grandparent) is linked to an academic item that equates to both YOP and term, the YOP from this item is used; otherwise the YOP value is derived from the parent of the item that equates to term. In this example, the COURSE is a child of a STUDYPERIOD (which equates to term), the STUDYPERIOD is child of STAGE which equates to YOP, and therefore the value from the parent STAGE is used here.

• Academic Year: The TERM_TBL.ACAD_YEAR value for the term value (STRM) returned from the Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline (see Term).

• Term: If the COURSE is linked to an academic item which equates to term, the value is derived from parent/grandparent and so on.

• Session: If the Program Format includes session level and the Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline has Equates to Term nodes mapped to combinations of Term and Session, a session value will also be assigned.

b) If the value is selected by a user:

• Year of Program: Is assigned by using the YOP value from the academic item (if the academic item equates to term and also equates to YOP); otherwise the YOP value is derived from the parent of the Equates to Term item.

• Academic Year: The TERM_TBL.ACAD_YEAR value for the term value (STRM) returned from the Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline (using the academic item selected during term choice).

• Term: The TERM_TBL.STRM value from the Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline for the item selected during term choice (using the academic item).

• Session: If the Program Format includes session level and the Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline has Equates to Term nodes mapped to combinations of Term and Session, the user will actually select a combination of term and session.

APT Items Page: Assigning Term Values to Courses

This section discusses choosing a “term” for a COURSE item that is not associated (according to lineage) with an academic item equating to term.

Any COURSE items that are associated with STUDYPERIOD items can be assigned a term using the Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline (if one exists). However, you cannot know the term in which a COURSE associated with items above that level (PRG, PHASE, STAGE) is to be taken until the student actually plans/enrolls. In the example program used in this document, “Part 2” is comprised of two stages (Year 2 and 3) but there is a list of courses that the student must complete at some point during those two years.

The Course List is a direct child of Part 2 and is not associated with a Stage (which equates to Year of Program) or Study Period (which equates to Term).

When a student (or advisor/administrator) selects a course that is placed in a program structure in this way, it ultimately must be assigned to a term for planning and enrollment purposes. To do this, the system must:

• Evaluate the children of the item where the course is situated.

• Determine which of those child items equates to term (this is determined by Program Format, where an Equates to Term value is required).

• Return a list of those items and prompt the user to assign one to the course.

In the example above, the courses are tied to the Phase level of the program structure. The immediate children of the PHASE item (other than the COURSELIST itself) are STAGE items, which equate to YOP. So in this particular case the system must go down another level. The STAGE items each have two child STUDYPERIOD items, which equate to term. All four of these must be available to the user, because this is the level at which enrollment will take place:

• User adds a course to APT:

  Image: APT example: add course step 1

  This example illustrates adding a course to APT (step 1).

  

• Child items equating to term are retrieved

  The choices can be presented with user defined (message catalog text)

  Image: APT example: add course step 2

  This example illustrates adding a course to APT (step 2).

  

• The item is saved to APT. The lineage (as defined in AIR) is preserved, in this example BA Econ = Year 2 – Semester 2.

  For Year of Program/Term reporting purposes however, the course selection is associated with 2nd Year, Term 0730.

  Image: APT example: add course step 3

  This example illustrates adding a course to APT (step 3).

  

Managing Retake Processing

The Eligible for Retake field determines whether an academic item can be repeated at a future point in a student’s program of study.

If the Item is a Program Format tree planning node: the APT Request process can be used to build a new attempt for that planning node as well as any child program format tree nodes and other child items (such as courses) that are eligible for retake. If a student needs to re-take an entire program node, such as a year or semester, we recommend the following steps:

• Set the Eligible for Retake field to Yes on the Planning Node and any child Equates to Term/Session nodes (if applicable). Also identify all child items (courses, course lists etc.) that must be retaken.

• Create a Personalized Timeline and adjust the term mapping as required. For example, if a student attempted Year 1 in term 2014 Academic year (term code 2014) and is required to re-take Year 1 during the next academic year, the personalized timeline would need to be adjusted such that Year 1 is now mapped to the term code for 2015 Academic Year, with any subsequent years adjusted accordingly.

  See Using the APT Timeline

• Use the APT Request process to create a new attempt against the Year 1 planning node. This creates new attempts for all eligible academic items and assigns those items to the appropriate term/session.

  See Creating and Managing APT Instances Using the APT Request Process

A course retake can be handled in one of two ways, depending on whether or not the retake needs to occur at a specific point in the remainder of the student’s program of study:

• Retake at a specific point: if a student needs to retake the item at a set point in time, for instance retaking Year 1 course during Year 2:

  • Set the Eligible for Retake field to Yes on the original attempt.

  • Use the Create New Attempt button to create a new attempt against the course in APT.

  • Enter Academic Item Attempt schedule data for the new attempt.

  • Create and activate the next planning node (Year 2 , to use the same example) using APT Request.

  In student self-service, this makes the course available as an item to be retaken in the specified term/session node on the My Education Plan component once the term/session node for the original attempt has been finalized.

• Student is allowed to retake at any point during the remainder of the program:

  • Set the Eligible for Retake field to Yes on the original attempt.

  • Create and activate the next planning node (Year 2 , to use the same example) using APT Request.

  This option allows the student to select the course on the My Education Plan in any subsequent (active) term node once the term/session node for the original attempt has been finalized. When the course is selected, a new attempt is created for the course, with the schedule data for the term node where it was selected. If the student decides not to take the course at that point, the attempt and associated schedule data are removed from APT when the course is de-selected and the My Education Plan component is saved.

Recording Term-Related Data in APT When Students Are Not Assigned to an Enrollment Cohort or Personalized Timeline

The ability to auto-assign term-related data as items are added to APT without referencing a predefined cohort or personalized timeline is planned for the future.

APT Items Page: Academic Item Attempt Results Level

The APT structure is not delivered with a predefined set of fields for statistics and results (total units, grade points and so on). You must define the types of statistics and results that you want to track for your students, using the Result Type component. The number and type of results associated with a particular academic item (for example, a course, semester) are determined by the academic item definition (in AIR), where you indicate which results will be tracked for a particular academic item.

See Setting Up Result Types

This level of the structure allows you to track multiple versions of the same result type. For example, a Year of Program might have a Result Type of Weighted Average Mark associated with it. An institution might need to record the calculated version of this result (that is, the result calculated by a rules engine or uploaded from an external source) and the finalized version (which could be different from the calculated version) delivered from an exam or other review board. In this case, the Results grid would have two rows for the result type Weighted Average Mark. Obviously only one of the results would be used for calculating higher level results and for transcript purposes, but both results would be recorded.

Note. The APT Result design is still being finalized and some components of this feature are planned for a future phase.

Select the Results tab:

An academic item attempt can have multiple result types associated with it.

Field or Control	Definition
Result Nbr	System assigned sequence number.
Result Type	Prompts against Result Type table for the Institution.
Result Scale	You assign a Result Scale to a Result Type on the Result Type page (Set Up SACR, Product Related, Student Records, Program Enrollment, Result Type). Result Type inherits the field definition (Numeric) from the Result Scale – for example, a 10.0 point scale.
Result Value	This value is based on the Result Type setup.
Result Status	Indicates the status of the result. You can use this field to record a change to an existing Result Type row, or to indicate the status of a new instance of the same result type.
Include in Calc	Indicates that a Result Type row should be used in calculating a higher level result. When there is more than one instance of the same result type, only one has the check box selected. Note: This feature is planned for the future.

See Setting Up Result Types

Select the Grades tab:

Field or Control	Definition
Grading Scheme	Controls the Grade prompt. Available if the Result Type has a Result Scale which is configured to allow include grade.
Grading Basis	Controls the Grade prompt. Available if Result Type has a Result Scale configured to allow include Grade. The field prompts against the Grading Basis for the selected Grading Scheme.
Grade	Allows for the recording of a core grade for the result type. Available if Result Type has a Result Scale configured to allow include grade. The field prompts against the Grade table for the selected Grading Scheme/Basis.
Grade Points	Displays the grade point value (from the GRADE_TBL) for the grade.
Outcome	The Result outcome will be set based on the evaluation of a rule (that is, the rule calculates the result, updates the result row with the result and outcome). The conditional value would be used to record a result that needs to be confirmed by an exam board or other body. The result could be ‘confirmed’ by the creation of another row with a Passed or Failed outcome.

Select the Administrative tab:

Field or Control	Definition
Reason Code	You can enter a reason code for a result row. For example, a student may be granted a higher result and compensation due to ill-health or other mitigating circumstances or a result may be excluded due to plagiarism. See Setting Up APT Reason Codes
Show Student	This is planned for the future.

APT Items Page: Assigning Result Types to APT Academic Items

Result Types are associated with academic items in AIR using the Result Types grid to indicate which Result Types are attached to a particular academic item.

See Defining Academic Item Details

When an item is added to an APT instance, Academic Item Attempt Result rows are created for all result types linked to that academic item in AIR.
