Learner Experience

The Purpose of the Lottery

• The lottery module is one way for administrators to create a rotation schedule in Elentra for a cohort of learners in an unbiased way.

• It allows learners to rank potential rotation schedules and anonymously swap rotation schedules and/or rotations if your Elentra administrators have configured swapping stages.

  • What you are able to rank or swap is dependent on how your Elentra administrators have configured the stages and rotations schedule options in Elentra.

• The lottery module uses an algorithm to try to give the most learners their first choice of rotation schedule.

Please note that there are no notifications in Elentra to tell you when a stage is open or closed. You will receive the dates and times of when stages open or close from your lottery administrators.

Accessing Lotteries

• To access the lotteries module click on your user profile icon and select “Lotteries”. You will be directed to your Lotteries page where you will see a list of all Lotteries that have been assigned to you. You can use the Search Lotteries input field to find a specific Lottery if there are multiple in the list.

• Each Lottery on this page contains the following information:

  • The title of the Lottery, as set by the administrator.

  • A helpful contextual alert stating the Lottery's status of each stage.

  • A View Lottery button that will take you to a page where you can participate in the stage that is open, see your tentative schedule, see unassigned schedules, and see a list of links to the locations and preceptors that are associated with the lottery.
