Examples of Cross-Listing and Cross Section Linking Interaction
Cross-listing and Linking of Courses
The following tested and the expected behavior has been confirmed.
Scenarios 1-4: Cross-listing after course section linking (CSL)
Scenario 1
- Targeted section of a cross-list is a master linked section
- X is the master section of a linked section
- Y is linked to X
- Z is linked to X
- THEN A is cross-listed to X
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A does not exist
- SIS enrollments for A are in X
- When working in X, enrollments for A are shown whenever enrollments for X are shown
- Grade pass back will send grades and materials to section A for section A enrollments
- Remove linked child section from cross-listed linked section (child section is not target of a cross-list)
- Unlink Y from X
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A does not exist
- SIS enrollments for A are in X
- When working in X, enrollments for A are shown whenever enrollments for X are shown
- Grade pass back will send grades and materials to section A for section A enrollments
- Y is a separate section, not linked to X, and no enrollments for A can be seen in Y
Scenario 2
- Targeted section of a cross-list is a child linked section
- X is the master section of a linked section
- Y is linked to X
- Z is linked to X
- THEN A is cross-listed to Y
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A does not exist
- SIS enrollments for A are in Y
- When working in X, enrollments for A are shown whenever enrollments for Y are shown
- Grade pass back will send grades and materials to section A for section A enrollments
- Remove linked child section from cross-listed linked section - child section is target of a cross-list
- Unlink Y from X
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A does not exist
- Y is a separate section, not linked to X
- Enrollments for A can be seen in Y
- SIS enrollments for A are not in X
- Grade pass back will send grades and materials to section A for section A enrollments
Scenario 3
- Child section of a cross-list is a master linked section
- X is the master section of a linked section
- Y is linked to X
- Z is linked to X
- THEN X is cross-listed to stand alone section A (A is the target section)
- Correct Results in Schoology (this behavior is pending):
- A cross-listing row that crosslists a master section of a linked section should fail with message: You cannot cross-list a linked section.
Scenario 4
- Child section of a cross-list is a child linked section.
- X is the master section of a linked section
- Y is linked to X
- Z is linked to X
- THEN Y is cross-listed to stand alone section A (A is the target section)
- Correct Results in Schoology (this behavior is pending):
- A cross-listing row that crosslists a child section of a linked section should fail with message: You cannot cross-list a linked section.
Scenarios 5-8: Cross section linking after cross-listing
Scenario 5
- Targeted section of a cross-list is a master linked section
- A is cross-listed to X
- THEN linking of sections is done
- X is the master section of a linked section
- Y is linked to X
- Z is linked to X
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A does not exist
- SIS enrollments for A are in X
- When working in X, enrollments for A are shown whenever enrollments for X are shown
- Y exist in Schoology and is linked to X
- Z exist in Schoology and is linked to X
- Grade pass back will send grades and materials to section A for section A enrollments
- Unmap a cross-listing between a section and a master section of a linked section
- Unmap the cross-listing from A from X
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A does not exist
- Enrollment for A are not in X
- Enrollments for X are in X
- Y exist in Schoology and is linked to X
- Z exist in Schoology and is linked to X
- Provision section A
- Correct Results in Schoology
- A exists in Schoology
- Provision enrollments for A
- Correct Results in Schoology
- Enrollments for A are in section A
Scenario 6
- Targeted section of a cross-list is a child linked section
- A is cross-listed to Y
- THEN linking of sections is done
- X is the master section of a linked section
- Y is linked to X
- Z is linked to X
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A does not exist
- SIS enrollments for A are in X, but are shown as Y enrollments
- When working in X, enrollments for A are shown whenever enrollments for Y are shown
- Y exist in Schoology and is linked to X
- Z exist in Schoology and is linked to X
- Grade pass back will send grades and materials to section A for section A enrollments
- Unmap a cross listing between a section and a child section of a linked section
- Unmap cross-list A from Y
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A does not exist
- Enrollment for A are not in X
- Enrollments for X are in X
- Enrollments for Y show in X
- Y exist in Schoology and is linked to X
- Z exist in Schoology and is linked to X
- Provision section A
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- A exists in Schoology
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- Provision enrollments for A
- Correct Results in Schoology:
- Enrollments for A are in section A
- Correct Results in Schoology:
Scenario 7–The following scenario is not possible, because step 1.1 is impossible to complete.
- Targeted section of a cross-list is a child linked section
- X is cross-listed to Y
- THEN linking of sections is done
- X is the master section of a linked section (this is not possible because they will never be able to choose Y to link, because it does not exist in Schoology)
- Y is linked to X
- Z is linked to X
Scenario 8–The following scenario is not possible, because step 1.2 is impossible to complete.
- Cross-listed section of a cross-list is a child-linked section
- Y is cross-listed to A
- THEN linking of sections is done:
- X is the master section of a linked section
- Y is linked to X (this is not possible because they will never be able to choose Y to link, because it does not exist in Schoology)
- Z is linked to X
