Description

Return agreed/accepted learning credits and unaccounted remainder.

Adult-learning records allocate supplied participation, contact time, credits and optional requirements. A local fraction or eligibility predicate follows the chosen counting policy; it does not assess learning quality, recognize a qualification or establish contractual entitlement. Excluded and optional components can change the denominator.

Return agreed/accepted learning credits and unaccounted remainder.

When to use this tool

Use Learning Contract Credit Gap when checking the stated adult-learning participation, requirement, text or time convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter agreedCredits, acceptedCredits, pendingCredits. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read agreedTotal, acceptedTotal, unaccountedCredits. Use the output convention below.

Return agreed/accepted learning credits and unaccounted remainder. Require aligned nonnegative arrays; agreedTotal/acceptedTotal sum each, unaccounted = agreed-accepted-pending total.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • Negative remainder is retained; actual awards, pending status, assessment and binding learning-contract rights are not verified.
  • 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 the actual course plan, learner needs and governing credit/recognition policy with the responsible educational team for substantive decisions.
