Hierarchy
The selection process works on a hierarchy system. There are 3 levels:
Sections
These are essentially topics or headings for sets of information or requirements. Examples of what might go on this level are basic welcome information, the description of pathway choices and a requirement for students to choose one of them, course selections for a semester, course choices based on direct entry to university requirements, or what do after selections are completed online.
The information you have in the Text/Images area should be nothing more than a heading or a small image (like a school banner). This level is not meant for giving out detailed information.
Instructions
These are used to convey a small body of information to students (the less text and the more direct these are, the better chance the students will read and understand it), and requirements for any selections underneath it. An example of what you would use an instruction for, is to tell students about what requirements they must meet with their selections if they want direct entry to university after they finish Year 12 (which may not have any instructions directly linked to it), or it might be something like 'Line 4 - choose one course from the options below', where you would have all of the courses on Line 4 linked to this instruction as selections (see below).
Selections
These are choices that the students can make, and are most commonly a course, but could also be responses like 'Yes' or 'No'. Text responses are also classed as Selections.
How these all work together
Selections are controlled by the Instruction they are directly linked to. Instructions are controlled directly by the Section they are linked to.
