Managing Interruption of Studies

Student can be added to Interruption of Studies (IoS) by navigating from the MedLearn admin menu to “User Management > IoS students”

To add a new student on IoS click the ‘Add new IoS student”, search for the student and add the IoS start date, and expected return date.

How does a student on IoS appear in MedLearn?

  • IoS students are shown with a red ‘Interruption of studies’ next to their user information, clearly indicating they are on IoS
  • IoS students still appear in Module and Group lists but are flagged as such
  • IoS students still appear in tutor groups
  • IoS students are NOT shown in register reports where an event date is within the IoS range. Therefore they will not get sent emails when they have missed sessions
  • IoS students are NOT shown assessments in their portfolio that have dates within the IoS range
  • IoS students are REMOVED from placements that take place within the IoS date range when first added

When a student returns from IoS they are automatically updated in MedLearn and no further action is needed, assuming a return date has been given.
