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
Provision enrollments for A
Correct Results in Schoology:
Enrollments for A are in section A
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
