# Direct Education by Session Type

Shows how many program activities were delivered in a single session versus multiple sessions.

#### Location

This panel appears on the following dashboards:

* [SNAP-Ed Dashboard](/analyze/impact-dashboards/snap-ed-dashboard.md)

#### Modules Included

* Program Activities

#### Filters

**Applied Filters**

* **Viewable records** — Only Program Activities the current user has permission to view are included.

**Non-Applicable Filters**

All standard Program Activity filters are supported by this panel.

#### Calculations

1. PEARS retrieves all viewable Program Activities that match the current dashboard filters.
2. Each program activity is annotated with the count of its program occurrences (sessions).
3. Program activities are classified into two categories:
   * **Single Session** — Program activities with exactly one session.
   * **Multi-Session** — Program activities with more than one session.
4. A bar chart displays the total count of program activities in each category.

#### Additional Notes

* Program activities with zero sessions are excluded from this panel.
* Sessions are counted regardless of their length; there is no minimum session length for this panel.
