Miscellaneous activity type

Use the Miscellaneous activity type to record evidence when none of the other activity types apply. This activity type can be configured so it is not visible to the learner.

Adding a miscellaneous activity

To add an activity, see: Add activities to an action plan.

Enter a name for the activity and set the Activity Type to Miscellaneous.

Miscellaneous activity fields

The following fields are available for this activity type:

• Completion mode
• Instructions
• Evidence required
• Minimum number of evidence
• Complete by
• Planned hours
• Activity owner
• Documents
• Visible to learner

Completion mode

This field determines how the activity status is updated. Two options are available:

• All Evidence Accepted: the activity is completed automatically once all required evidence has been accepted by the tutor. This is the default.
• Tutor Decides: the tutor can manually control the activity status, including starting, progressing, and completing it. If evidence is set as required, it must still be provided and marked before the activity can be set to complete.

Instructions

Enter any instructions the learner should see when viewing this activity in their action plan.

Evidence required

Select Evidence required if the learner must submit and have evidence marked before the activity can be completed. This is selected by default.

Minimum number of evidence

Sets the minimum number of evidence submissions required from the learner. The activity will not be marked as complete until this number is reached. This field is only available when Evidence Required is selected.

Complete by

Set the date or timeframe by which the learner is expected to complete the activity. This determines where the activity appears in the chronological order of the action plan.

You can specify the complete by timeframe as a date, or as a number of months, weeks, or days from the start of the programme:

• Date: the activity must be completed before the specified date.
• Months: the activity must be completed within that many months from the programme start date. For example, entering 1 means within one month of the start.
• Weeks: the activity must be completed within that many weeks from the programme start date.
• Days: the activity must be completed within that many days from the programme start date. For example, entering 10 means within 10 days of the start.

Planned hours

Enter the number of planned off-the-job (OTJ) hours for this activity. These hours are displayed on the Commitment Statement at the start of the programme. If OTJ hours do not apply to this activity, leave this field as 0.

Activity owner

Select the person responsible for delivering this activity. Defaults to the primary tutor.

Documents

Attach any documents the learner needs to access as part of the activity.

Visible to learner

Select this option if you want the activity to appear in the learner's action plan. If left unselected, the activity is only visible in the tutor view of the action plan.
