What are the various settings available and how you could customize them?

There are several settings available at the various levels of the organizational structure i.e. at organization, child organization, course, and learning path. Here is an overview of the various settings, their inheritance and customization:

1) Organization Level Settings:
  1. At the organizational level, the following settings are available:
    1. Course Labels - Topic and Sub-topic
    2. Mastery Percent
    3. Item Type Weights
    4. Logo Image and Background Image
  2. The Course Labels, Mastery Percent, and Item Type Weights settings will cascade as the default settings and inherited by all child organizations under this parent organization. Logo Image and Background Image settings are only available and maintained at the organization level.
2) Child Organization Level Settings:
  1. Child Organizations inherit the following settings from their parent organizations:
    1. Course Labels - Topic and Sub-topic
    2. Mastery Percent
    3. Item Type Weights
  2. Course Labels, Mastery Percent, and Item Type Weights can all be overwritten at the child organization level. These child organization settings will cascade as the default settings and inherited by all courses under this child organization.
3) Course Level Settings:
  1. Courses inherit the following settings from their respective organization. If the course belongs to a child organization, it will inherit these settings from the child organization. 
    1. Course Labels - Topic and Sub-topic
    2. Mastery Percent
    3. Item Type Weights
  2. Item Type Weights can be overwritten at the course level. Once these settings are overwritten, any changes made to item type weights at the organizational level are not cascaded to the course level. The overwritten settings will cascade as the default settings to all learning paths within the course. 
  3. Grading/Mastery calculation method (weighted average vs straight average) and Grading Scope settings are set at the course level and not inherited from an organization. 
  4. Course Labels and Mastery Percent cannot be overwritten at the course level.

    1. Item Type Weights

    3. Grading Scope
  2. Learning paths inherit the following settings from their organization. 
    1. Course Labels - Topic and Sub-topic
    2. Mastery Percent
  3. Item type weights can be overwritten at the learning path level. Once this setting is overwritten, any changes made to item type weights at the course or organizational level are not cascaded to this learning path. 
  4. Mastery Percent can be overwritten at the learning path level. Once this setting is overwritten, any changes made to the mastery percent at the organizational level are not cascaded to this learning path. 
  5. Grading/Mastery calculation method (weighted average vs straight average) and Grading Scope settings can be overwritten at the learning path level. Once these settings are overwritten, any changes made to the Grading/Mastery calculation method or Grading Scope at the course level are not cascaded to this learning path.
