Function documentationTeaching Workload Evaluation

 

You can enter teaching workload data for academic events. The teaching workload comprises the number and unit of contact hours, as well as the different teaching activities and the teaching effort required for each.

You can specify teaching workload data for the following objects:

· Business event (object type E)

· Time-independent event (object type EL)

· Individual work (object type CI)

· Business event type (object type D)

In the business event types (object type D), you define the teaching workload as a default value. The system uses this default value when you create business events, time-independent events or individual work on the basis of a business event type. What the system actually does is assign the teaching workload to the respective object in the Teaching Workload infotype (1753).

You can use teaching workload data in user-defined reports, for example, to settle payment for teaching activities, to compare planned and actual teaching workload data, or to compare total teaching effort with the teaching effort of individual persons. SAP does not provide any reports for such purposes as requirements vary greatly from one university to another.

Integration

You can assign a teaching workload to a person or an external person. The system saves this assignment in relationship 543 (expends effort for/requires effort by). You can also split the teaching workload between two persons.

You can store the teaching hours of individual instructors in the HR Funds and Position Management component (PA-PM-FP).

Prerequisites

You have made the settings for teaching workload in Customizing for Student Lifecycle Management under Start of the navigation path Student Lifecycle Management Master Data Next navigation step Academic Structure Next navigation step Teaching Workload End of the navigation path. You have also observed the tips on how to set up the teaching workload which are given there.

When you assign a teaching activity while editing the teaching workload, the system shows the unit of the teaching activity. This unit is assigned to the teaching activity via the teaching activity grouping of this teaching activity. You can assign teaching activities to teaching activity groupings in Customizing for Student Lifecycle Management in the Define Calculation Rules for Teaching Activities IMG activity. A teaching activity which is not assigned to a teaching activity grouping does not have a unit.

Activities

You can enter the teaching workload for the above objects with the following transactions:

  • Edit event offerings (transaction code PIQACADOFFER00)

  • Edit event offerings for cohorts (transaction code PIQACADOFFER01)

  • Module catalog (transaction code PIQ_ACCATLG)
