Setting Up Result Types
Due to the flexible nature of AIR based program requirements, you must define the level at which you track unit and credit totals for example, and also, the type of data that you want to track at those levels. The Result Types feature provides you with the means to build these student data profiles, to define the type of data to be tracked (for example, Total Enrolled Credits, Total Completed Credits) and the format of that data.
This section discusses how to define result types.
Note: The Result Type design is still being finalized and some components of this feature are planned for the future.
