Interfaceosid.course.plan.PlanSmartCourseCatalogSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session manages queries and sequencing to create "smart" dynamic catalogs. A PlanQuery can be retrieved from this session and mapped to this CourseCatalog to create a virtual collection of Plans. The lessonsmay be sequenced using the PlanSearchOrder from this session.

This CourseCatalog has a default query that matches any plan and a default search order that specifies no sequencing. The queries may be examined using a PlanQueryInspector. The query may be modified by converting the inspector back to a PlanQuery.
