Configurable ParticipationStatus for Sessions

1 Initial Problem

The "Attended" boolean in the sessions'  participant list is not verbose enough to express a relation between user and session (participation).
This also affects possible evaluations of learning progress.
Also, it is indistinguishable whether a status is "not attended" or simply not set yet.

2 Conceptual Summary

The colum "Attended" with its checkbox should be replaced by a column "Participation"  with a configurable dropdown.
Entries for the dropdown would be configured globally in Administration->Content Objects->Session.
Each entry features a caption and a rule for learning progress, i.e. to which LP-status a participation status of that kind will evaluate to.

This will blend nicely and will have little impact on migration, since the amount of available options is configurable.
It will also enhance learning progress for sessions; in the example above, the config could look like this:
Not attended -> Failed
Excused -> Not Attempted
Attended -> Complete

The feature would also include and fulfill the use case described here: « Cannot Attend » Button in Sessions
