Field Description
Class

Enter the name of the class. Give the class a name that will be relevant to a student. For example, if you are offering several time options for the same class, make sure that the classes are distinctly named so that students can differentiate between them.

Course Name

The course name displays automatically and cannot be changed.

Credits

This is the number of internal credits that a student will earn by completing the course with a passing grade. This number displays automatically and cannot be changed.

CEUs

This is the number of CEUs (Continuing Education Units) that a student will earn by completing the course with a passing grade. This number displays automatically and cannot be changed.

When students receive external certifications, degrees, or titles, they sometimes have to complete CEUs to maintain their professional standing. Before granting CEUs, your organization must verify that the appropriate accrediting associations will accept the CEUs.

Status

Select the status that applies to the class.

  • Closed: Students can search for and find the class, but it is not open to enrollment.
  • Draft: The class is under development and not yet enrolling students. You cannot change a class back to Draft status after it is set to any of the other Status options.
  • Enrolling: Students can search for and enroll in the class.
  • Inactive: Students can search for and find the class, but it is not open to enrollment.
  • In Progress: The class is in session and students can search for and find the class, but cannot enroll if the add/drop date for the class has passed.
  • These are the default statuses. To change them, click , click Drop-down and Multi-Select Lists from the Global Settings section, and select Class Status from the Select Listing drop-down list.
  • Without customization, Deltek Talent Learning will not automatically manage the statuses that you add, but the statuses can be useful for reporting purposes.
Company/Division

To associate a class with a company or division, select a value from the drop-down list. Select Global if the class is for all employees, enterprise-wide.

Suppress Roster

Select this option to prevent students from seeing the names of the other students in the class.

Private Class

Select this option if the class is intended for a private audience.

When a student searches for a class, the search results only include classes that are designated to be public, not those designated to be private.

Class Type

The class type displays automatically based on the class type of the course.

  • E-Learning: The course uses the computer as the key component to the learning environment. It is also referred to as Computer Based Training (CBT). This course type includes AICC and SCORM courses.
  • Instructor-Led: This course is facilitated by an instructor, either in a formal classroom format or an interactive virtual workshop. This course type includes internal, external, and non-CBT online courses.
  • Read & Sign: The course only requires reading a document and electronically signing it.
Enable Show/No-Show Grading

Select this option and enter 100 in the Passing Grade field if the instructor can give a pass/fail grade based on attendance alone.

Passing Grade

Enter a passing grade, expressed as a percentage, for the class. Enter 100 and select Enable Show/No-Show Grading if all students who attend the class receive a passing grade.

Overall Assignment Weight/Overall Test Weight

Enter the overall assignment and test weights in these fields (for example, 30% to assignments and 70% to tests). Deltek Talent Learning uses these fields to automatically average student scores. Both percentages added together should equal 100%.

After you specify the overall weights of assignments and tests, the instructor can determine the weight of each individual assignment or test (for example, two tests make up the 70% test weight: a midterm weighted at 40% and a final test weighted at 60%).

Minimum Students

Enter the minimum number of students required to hold the class. If the minimum number is not reached by the add/drop date, the class owner (the person who created the class) receives an email notification to cancel the class or modify the minimum number of students. Deltek Talent Learning does not automatically cancel the class if the minimum number is not reached.

Remote Capacity

Enter the total number of students who can attend the class remotely (for example, via phone or web meeting).

On-site Capacity

Enter the total number of students who can attend the class in person. This number determines the size of the rooms that are suggested for scheduling purposes.

Total Maximum Capacity

This number displays automatically. It is the sum of Remote Capacity plus On-site Capacity. This number determines when a waiting list is created.

Notify administrators when waiting list reaches

When the waiting list reaches the number of students entered in this field, the Learning Administrator receives a notification.
