More on elective program modules

In a previous post, I described how program sessions can contain both required and elective modules in EKP 4.7.

But what happens if a session contains a large number of elective modules? How does a learner keep track of which ones she is working on?

In EKP 4.7, an administrator can specify which elective modules are automatically assigned to learners who enroll in the program session. Learners can then add more elective modules to their list of active modules, or remove elective modules that they do not intend to complete, via the program's Knowledge Center. (Required modules are always assigned automatically.)

Selecting which elective modules are automatically assigned to learners who enroll in a program session

EKP displays a list of available elective modules at the bottom of the Knowledge Center's Main tab. The learner can click the appropriate Enroll button to add a module to her list of active modules for the program.

The list of active and completed modules indicates whether each module is required. The learner can remove incomplete elective modules from the list of active modules by clicking the appropriate Withdraw Enrollment button. The module is returned to the list of available modules. Required modules cannot be removed from the list of active modules.
