Nine persons enrolled in two classes that could accommodate 20 students; minor mystery of “zero enrollment” showing on registration site when changing from face-to-face to online classes solved
It was thought that there would be five adult face-to-face classes for college credit offered at the Sedona Center this semester. However, it turns out that there will be only the three face-to-face classes, all in culinary, when the semester opens. (See earlier Blog posting for more information.) The courses labeled Voice I and Voice II were changed from face-to-face to Weblive by the College.
Weblive classes are online and open to anyone but have specific times scheduled for classes. According to the College, a total of nine students are enrolled in these two classes (Voice I and Voice II).
There was a minor amount of confusion when the College’s registration web page listing Sedona Center classes initially indicated that no one had signed up for either voice course, when in fact nine students had enrolled. The College later explained that the classes were changed from face-to-face to Weblive. This accounted for the inaccurate zero registration number temporarily showing up in its registration portal. Here is the College’s response to the Blog query about these two classes and the initial showing of zero enrollment and change:
When a class is in the process of being cancelled it shows zero enrolled until those students have been contacted. Then the classes disappear from the registration site (if you search now for the Sedona Campus, you won’t see the Voice classes because they were moved to WebLive).
We always contact students if we are changing the modality of a class or cancelling the class. While we are in the process of contacting them, we drop the class capacity to zero so that students can’t register for a class that is being changed or cancelled. We let the students know about the change in modality and the new class number so that they can change their registration, or we let them know about other class options if the class is being cancelled. Then the class is cancelled and disappears from the registration site.
The minor mystery of zero enrollment has been solved. While the number of students in each class remains limited to 10, anyone anywhere may take the classes online but at specific scheduled times.
