What is an Activity?

An Activity incorporates Cases that learners are expected to complete over an extended period of time. It also holds together the components of a controlled medical training experience such as planning, site management, data entry, advanced video recording features, evaluation and preparation of reports.

Info
titlePrivileges

Users with Activity Manager privilege or Admins.

Activity Manager

In the Activities module, the Activity Manager can create, modify, copy, merge or delete Activities, assign Cases and participants, and manage access to Reports and Recordings.

Note

When an Activity is copied, all of its specifications, including the sharing assignments, are duplicated as well. A copied Activity will be shared by default with any Activity Manager user that the original Activity has been shared with.

Info
ACTIVITY: An activity is a longer period of time created around a specific learning area (that is, a specific case or set of cases) for specific groups of participants. This entails that each activity has to have at least one learner (normally also a faculty group) assigned and at least one case added.

The members of the assigned learner group can complete the required

case

Case(s) in three ways:

  • without scheduling
  • via Running Non-Scheduled Activity (referred to as RNSA)
  • via Advanced Scheduling (event scheduling)

Note
IMPORTANT:
In case of scheduling conflicts, it is always the Advanced Scheduling that takes precedence
, that is, if
:
If an RNSA is placed into a room that is scheduled as the location of an
event
Event (i.e. selected as a station for a
case
Case during Event Setup in the Activity Scheduler), it is always the configuration (
recording
Recording setup) of the scheduled event that will apply, regardless of the order of room assignment.
Without any scheduling



Activity setup without Scheduling

This is the most basic

activity

Activity setup with little or no preparation and/or restriction.

  • There is no location (room and or station) assigned
and
  • ,
  • no time specified (i.e. event scheduled),
as a consequence,
  • data entry is available from any computer during the entire
activity, that is,
  • Activity (between the start and the end dates).

Tip
TIP:

On the Options tab of the Edit Activity pop-up window, restrictions can be set up with respect to the source and timing of data entry. E.g.:

  • Data entry only allowed from IP addresses starting with/ hostnames ending in <provided number>
  • Activity is available with restricted browser only

Via


Running Non-Scheduled Activity (

referred to as

RNSA)

This way of working within an

activity

Activity requires linking the desired

activity

Activity to a specific room.

That is, selecting the activity and any

Select the Activity andone or all of the

cases

Cases assigned to it in the Running Non-Scheduled Activity drop-down of the room on the Rooms tab of the System module.

Image Added

This method allows for restricting Learner and/or SP data entry for the specified

case

Case(s) to computers assigned to the selected room. Such setup requires two additional conditions to be fulfilled:

  • ticking the 'Data entry only allowed from manually authorized workstations' checkbox on the Options tab of the Edit Activity pop-up opened for the desired
activity
  • Activity
  • selecting In-room and/or Hallway Station in the Room Settings pop-up opened for the designated room

If all the above conditions are met, the Learner or SP logging in from the Hallway or In-room station respectively will only be able to access the selected case or all

cases

Cases of the assigned

activity

Activity. 

Via Advanced Scheduling (scheduled events)


Scheduling an event means


Advanced Scheduling (Scheduled Events)

The Activity Scheduler is accessible via the Advanced Scheduling link within the Edit Activity pop-up:

Warning
While it is accessible via the Activities and Calendar modules, Advanced Scheduling should be considered a separate module in  LearningSpace system.
To access the function, Admin, SRP or SRP (full control) privilege is required.

Scheduling an Event means

  • determining a time interval within a specific day,
  • when there are specific timeslots
  • within a number of rounds
  • during which the added
case(s) is/
  • Cases are completed by the
learners
  • Learners (and SPs) assigned to the timeslots
. For more detailed definitions, see How to Understand Concepts within Advanced Scheduling
  • .

Note
NOTE:

Each

case

Case is completed at astation

, that is,

(a room registered in the system). The rooms normally have cameras assigned to

it

them, but

simulators

Simulators,

intercom devices, as well as designated computers

Intercom devices and designated computers (In-room or Hallway stations) can also be linked to a room.

'Data entry only allowed from manually authorized workstations' restriction:

  • if enabled - the
activity
  • Activity and its
cases
  • Cases will only be accessible from the computer(s) that is/ are assigned to the rooms where the
cases
  • Cases are scheduled, and Easy Login will facilitate data entry 
  • if not enabled - the
activity
  • Activity and its
cases
  • Cases will be accessible from all computers

Hidden Activities

Activities can be hidden in the Edit Activity pop-up window.

(lightbulb) Activities with associated responses or reports should be hidden, rather than deleted, when not needed.

Image Added

Hiding an Activity removes it from the Activity lists - unless the 'Show hidden Activities' funtion is enabled - but does not delete the Activity from LearningSpace.

Info

For more information see How to Hide an Activity.

Note
IMPORTANT: The hidden Activity will only appear in the Activities lists when the Show hidden Activities checkbox at the top of the Activities opening screen is checked.
