This is designed to capture any industrial impact that is not related to course marks and outcomes, and therefore cannot be captured in APT. This section on the Programme page will allow users to add an impact under the ‘Student Level’ section, and it will also display any impacts that have been recorded in APT in the ‘Course Level’ section, although these are not editable here.Once a ‘Student Level’ impact has been added to the student’s record, this will no longer be editable. Similar to in APT, this ensures that reporting can capture instances of students being impacted even if the impact has later been resolved.
