Assign a Lab

Use Assign when students will complete the activity and its evaluations in the future. An assigned Lab is intended to describe the work for one lab day.

Start the assignment

1. Go to Evaluations > Labs.
2. Open the Templates tab and select a template.
3. Tap Assign Evals to Students.
4. Make sure Assign is selected.
5. Select the organization unit and cohort, then choose the students who will participate.

Students must be eligible to use EMCE Pro before they can be added. EMCE shows a notice when selected students are not eligible.

Choose the event

When Scheduling is enabled, choose one option:

• Pick existing event links the Lab to an event that already exists.
• Create new event creates a new schedule event for the Lab. Set its date, start time, duration, color, location, and other available details.

Recurring events

If you pick one occurrence from a recurring series, EMCE separates that occurrence into a standalone event. The other occurrences remain unchanged.

When Scheduling is disabled for the selected organization unit, EMCE does not create a calendar event. Enter the Lab date, start time, and duration instead. The resulting Lab remains available from Labs and its evaluations remain available from Evaluations.

Organize Sim Session teams

If the template contains Sim Session requirements:

1. Review the teams EMCE generated from the template’s team size.
2. Add, remove, or rearrange team members as needed.
3. Select a facilitator for each team.
4. Add another team if the roster requires it.

Teams do not have to remain the same size. If the requirement calls for more than one Sim Session per student, EMCE creates a separate round of sessions for each team.

After the Lab is created, make later participant or facilitator changes from the individual Sim Session. Its date remains controlled by the Lab.

Create the Lab

Review the roster, event, and teams, then use the action at the bottom of the screen to create the Lab.

EMCE creates the parent Lab evaluations and their related Skill, Patient, and Sim Session work in the background. The Lab’s Overview shows generation progress. Faculty can leave the screen while processing continues.

If setup fails for all or part of the roster, see Retry failed generation.

Understand what counts

• A Skill requirement advances when the required number of successful, appropriately evaluated skill attempts are approved.
• A Patient requirement advances when the patient evaluation meets every configured learning-objective minimum and every required patient skill is completed.
• A Sim Session requirement advances when the student’s patient evaluation for a distinct Lab-created session is approved. Scores and suggested skills do not gate this participation credit.

The generated evaluations also count toward the student’s cohort requirements whenever they meet those requirements.
