Description
Allocate simultaneous mentoring minutes under a supplied share.
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.
Allocate simultaneous mentoring minutes under a supplied share.
When to use this tool
Use Mentoring Turn Credit Balance when checking the stated adult-learning participation, requirement, text or time convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter mentorMinutes, learnerMinutes, simultaneousMinutes, allocatedMentorShare. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read contactMinutes, mentorCredit, learnerCredit. Use the output convention below.
Allocate simultaneous mentoring minutes under a supplied share. Require nonnegative times/overlap with overlap <= both and allocatedMentorShare in [0,1]; contact = mentor+learner-overlap, mentorCredit = mentor-overlap+overlap*share, learnerCredit = learner-overlap*share.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| mentorMinutes | Mentor Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| learnerMinutes | Learner Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| simultaneousMinutes | Simultaneous Minutes | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| allocatedMentorShare | Allocated Mentor Share Unit: 1. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0; maximum 1. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| contactMinutes | mentorMinutes+learnerMinutes-simultaneousMinutes, counting shared contact once. | Required. Finite number. |
| mentorCredit | Mentor Credit | Required. Finite number. |
| learnerCredit | Learner Credit | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Credits sum to contact duration; the allocation is bookkeeping, not measured individual learning or fair participation.
- 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.
