Description
Test each boundary using >= or > at start and <= or < at end according to the inclusion flags; inside requires both.
Adult-learning budgets allocate supplied time, observations, support hours and optional participation. Elapsed session time differs from assessor person-time or serial per-learner time. A completeness count or feasible time balance does not itself assess competence, accessibility or learning quality.
Test each boundary using >= or > at start and <= or < at end according to the inclusion flags; inside requires both.
When to use this tool
Use Course Session Access Window when checking the stated adult-learning time, participation, resource or support-allocation convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter time, start, end, startIncluded, endIncluded. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read inside. Inspect inside before interpreting the associated values.
Require start<=end. Test each boundary using >= or > at start and <= or < at end according to the inclusion flags; inside requires both.1

| end | End | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Equal endpoints admit a point only when both are included; no actual access rights, timezone or recurring schedule is inferred.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review actual learner needs, activity plans and verified records with the responsible educational team for substantive scheduling and assessment decisions.
