Type of course

A type of course qualifies the pedagogical format of a lesson. Canonical examples:

  • Lecture — taught session for the whole cohort,
  • Tutorial — guided work in small groups,
  • Practical — hands-on lab work,
  • Exam — assessed test,
  • Conference — outside guest speaker,
  • Workshop, Seminar, Forum, Thesis defense…

Types of course are defined at school level in Create. You can create as many as your pedagogical nomenclature requires (higher-education institutions sometimes have 25-30 types).

In US school usage, nearby labels may be course type or status labels such as core, elective or AP. In Omniscol, however, a type of course means the teaching format of the lesson, not the curricular status of the subject.

In UK school usage, nearby distinctions may be compulsory vs optional. In Omniscol, however, this page refers to the teaching format of the lesson, not to whether the subject is compulsory or optional.

Subject + type pairing

A type of course is assigned to a course, in addition to its subject. The (subject, type) pair is treated as an independent identifier: for example, in statistics or filters, the "maths course" and the "maths tutorial" appear separately.

If you want to query both at once (without distinguishing by type), use an open filter that does not specify the type.

Filtering and display

  • Filter in the timetable module — select a type to see only practicals, or only lectures.
  • Statistics — counting tutorial vs practical vs lecture hours per class or per teacher.
  • Display — color or visual marker per type on the grid, depending on the display settings.
