Workshops

This article explains how you can create workshops in TracCloud. An advantage to workshops over batch visits is that you can track enrollment and attendance separately. If students sign-up for the workshop but do not attend, you can track that information and report on attendance rates of the workshop overall.

Access to manage workshops can be provided by going to Other > Other Options > Groups > [The group you want to update] > Admin / Modules > Add 'Workshops' under 'Table Access' > Save.

Workshops can be viewed and managed by going to Other > Other Options > Workshops.

To create a new workshop from the listing, click the hamburger menu and select New Workshop.

The instructor of the workshop, like above can be referenced with Twig in workshop emails.

Select the date and time of this workshop. If your workshop is configured to create visits when attended, these times will also be used for the resulting visits.

• Subject, Course, Section

Choose the subject, course, and section for this workshop. Similar to batch visits, you can be less specific (just subject, or just subject + course) and TracCloud will attempt to find a matching registration from the student's account. This section will be used in the resulting visit records for attended enrollments if configured in the options tab.

• Enrolled Student List

After enrolling students, they will appear in the list on the right-side of this tab. The left checkbox can be unselected to remove them from the workshop, the right checkbox can be used to mark them as attended. Marking students as attended may have other effects, such as creating visits or completing potential assignments, depending on the options chosen in the next tab.

Options

The options tab allows you to enable additional actions upon students attending and to enable emails for this workshop.

• Create A Visit For student When Marked As Attended

If enabled, the act of marking a workshop enrollment as attended will additionally create a visit record. You must also choose what center and reason the resulting visit should be linked to. Consultant, section, and date/time will be set according to the choices made under the General tab.

If enabled, you will be able to choose the potential assignment to use for this workshop. When a student attends, it will count towards their grade (if grade groups are configured).
