Activities include the details of a [trainee]'s training, service, or work experiences and are attached to [CAS NAME] [placement]s. Activities can include details such as hours, activity types, clients, assessments, notes, or tags. |
Activity Level |
Activity levels allow [trainee]s to track activities earned for different degree or training types (e.g., masters, doctoral, internship, etc.). Activity levels determine the activity type list available to [trainee]s. |
Activity Type List |
An activity type list is a preset list of categories and subcategories that allow [trainee]s to better define the details of their [experience]s. Activity type lists are selected or created by administrators based on program needs. |
Assessment |
When a [trainee] logs an activity, they can use assessments to document the type and number of assessments administered as part of the activity. |
Batch Name |
Batch names are used to name and organize the delivery of forms and evaluations and are used each time forms or evaluations are sent. |
Cohort |
A cohort is a group of [trainee]s who start a program in the same year. The cohort is automatically assigned based on the year the [trainee] signs up for [CAS NAME] but can be edited by an institutional administrator. |
[Course] |
[Course]s refer to the name and/or number associated with a practicum, internship, training course, service experience, etc. Institutional administrators create [course]s. [Trainee]s select the [course], which may include levels, as part of their [placement]. |
[Course] Level |
Institutional administrators assign [course] levels to each [course] they create. |
Custom Activity Type |
A custom activity type can be used to better define an activity. [Trainee]s create custom activity types and link them to a standard activity type. |

[Placement]s contain key details, such as the [training site], primary supervisor, term, faculty, level, and [course]. [Trainee]s create their [placement]s at the start of the activity by selecting from options created by the institutional administrator. Note that your configuration of [CAS NAME] may use a different label for this feature, such as internship, fieldwork placement, etc. |
