Fundamental structure for managing and storing courses on the platform:

🌐 Space → 📂 Folder → 📘 Course

🌐 Space: main container (for example "Scientific High School")

📂 Folder: a collection of multiple courses (does not have assignable roles/memberships)

📘 Course: smallest unit with full management (modules, lessons, assignments, roles)

Legenda

These symbols will be used in the examples on this page to illustrate the different scenarios in detail.

1. Static Teaching Model (Multidisciplinary)

What it is

The student follows multiple subjects within the same course.

In the school context, this corresponds to the traditional class group: 1A, 1B, etc.

Horizontal and synchronized delivery.

Impact on Aladia

❗ CHALLENGE:
On Aladia, each course is dedicated to a single subject.
Therefore, to build a "complete course" that integrates multiple subjects (For example Mathematics, Italian, Science...), it is necessary to create separate courses for each discipline and use a structure that groups them together.

SOLUTION

Use the FOLDER level to simulate the unitary class course.

Schema

🌐 Space: Scientific High School │ └── 📂 Folder: First Biennium - Year 2024/25 │ ├── 📘 Course: Mathematics ├── 📘 Course: Italian ├── 📘 Course: Science ├── 📘 Course: History 

Limits

The folder does not have role/membership management:

You cannot assign students/teachers to the folder.

I must manually assign students and teachers to each course.

The same student should be manually added to all classes, or groups could be used if an organization is available.

An abstract grouping level is used.

2. Disciplinary Rotation Model (Unimateria)

What it is

Each student enrolls separately in a course for each subject.

Each course is self-contained and does not need to be aggregated with others.

Typical of secondary schools and universities.

Impact on Aladia

ADVANTAGE

The model is perfectly aligned with the technical logic of the platform:

Each course has:

Lessons, modules, calendar, assignments

Role management, membership, tracking

There is no need to use folders as simulation.

Schema

🌐 Space: Scientific High School │ ├── 📘 Course: Mathematics - Biennium ├── 📘 Course: Physics - Biennium ├── 📘 Course: Italian - Biennium 

Comparative Summary

Conclusion

🧭 If you adopt a group class model (static), plan to use folders to organize the entire course, keeping in mind that user management will be done at the individual course level.

🚀 If you use a disciplinary model, you can take full advantage of the platform, benefiting from role management and tracking.

3. Individual Rotation Teaching Model (Unimateria)

What It Is

Each student enrolls separately in a course for each subject.

Each course is independent and does not need to be aggregated with others.

Typical of secondary schools and universities.

Impact on Aladia

❗ CHALLENGE:
On Aladia, each course is dedicated to a single subject.
To create a "complete course" that includes multiple disciplines (For example Mathematics, Italian, Science...), it is necessary to create separate courses and adopt a structure that groups them together.

SOLUTION

Use the FOLDER level to simulate the class unit course.

Schema

🌐 Space: Scientific High School │ └── 📂 Folder: First Biennium - Year 2024/25 │ ├── 📘 Course: Mathematics ├── 📘 Course: Italian ├── 📘 Course: Science ├── 📘 Course: History 

⚠️ Limitations:

The folder has no role/membership management:

You cannot assign students/teachers to the folder.

You need to manually assign students/teachers to each course.

The same student should be manually inserted into all classes unless an organizational structure and groups are used. In that case, you can directly assign users to the groups and manage access and roles at the group level.

It uses an abstract grouping level (the Space), suitable for internal training but not for commercial use through the marketplace.

4. Static Teaching Model (Multimateria)

What It Is

Each student enrolls separately in a course for each subject.

Each course is self-contained and does not need to be grouped with others.

Typical of secondary schools and universities.

Impact on Aladia

ADVANTAGE

This model perfectly aligns with the platform's technical logic:

Each course has:

Lessons, modules, calendar, assignments, chat

Role management, membership, tracking

No need to use folders as a simulation.

Freedom to use spaces and folders for organizing resources at the departmental and sub-departmental levels.

Below is a concise comparative analysis of two different organizational scenarios: the “Static Group Model,” where students remain within the same group for all activities, and the “Individual Rotation Model,” which allows for greater flexibility by enabling students to rotate independently based on their specific learning needs.
