Example of a Complex Curriculum Structure | Curriculum

Updated on May 24, 2022

We want to create a curriculum structure for our institution with 2 Semesters, each semester will have mandatory semester courses and optional semester courses. From the Optional Semester Courses, we need to create two groups of courses. Let us see how we can create the Structure described.

Create Curriculum as seen in the creation section.

Step 1: Create Semester 1 and 2

  • Once you click on the in-line action button and then on the edit structure button, you will be transferred to the edit structure page.
  • Click on the ‘Add’ button to add the group of entities we will call Semester 1 (Figure 17).

  • You can see there are no available pre-made Semesters in the popup window.
  • Click on the ‘Add New’ button. Once you do you will see the creation popup window (Figure 18).

  • Fill in all the fields and options. We have described the use of each option previously.
  • Make Semester 1 a group of classifications, so that you may add more classifications underneath it (Remember we need to make an Mandatory and Optional Semester.
  • Click on the ‘Save’ button to save Semester 1.

  • Select Semester 1 and click on the ‘Add Selection’ button, to add Semester 1 to the Structure page.
  • Follow this step once more to create Semester 2.

Step 2: Create Optional and Mandatory Semesters

Once you are done with the creation process the structure should look like this (Figure 24).
