Main Actions
Create a New Template
Clicking the "New Course" button opens a configuration form where you define:
- Course Name: The official title (e.g., Physics for High School Juniors).
- Category: Select from the available curriculum areas.
- Description: A short outline of the syllabus or level.
- Grading Settings: The default evaluation scale (e.g., Greek moria scale).
- Default Duration: The standard length of a teaching session.
Use clear and descriptive naming conventions for templates. This helps you identify courses easily when creating class groups.
Templates Table
The catalog table displays the following columns:
- Course Name: The title of the template.
- Category: A color-coded badge indicating the subject area.
- Linked Groups: The number of active teaching groups currently spawned from this template.
- Actions:
- Edit: Modify template details.
- Create Group: Quickly initiate the group wizard with this course's parameters pre-filled.
- Delete: Remove the template (only allowed if no active groups are linked).
If you attempt to delete a course template that still has active teaching groups, the system will block the action to prevent losing student data. You must archive or delete the corresponding groups first.
