Interfaceosid.learning.ObjectiveObjectiveBankSession
Implementsosid.OsidSession
Description

This session provides methods to retrieve Objective to ObjectiveBank mappings. An Objective may appear in multiple ObjectiveBanks. Each ObjectiveBank may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to look at it.

This lookup session defines two views:

  • comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
  • plenary view: provides a complete result set or is an error condition
MethodcanLookupObjectiveObjectiveBankMappings
Description

Tests if this user can perform lookups of objective/objective bank mappings. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known lookup methods in this session will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED. This is intended as a hint to an application that may opt not to offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.

Returnboolean false if looking up mappings is not authorized, true otherwise
CompliancemandatoryThis method must be implemented.
MethoduseComparativeObjectiveBankView
Description

The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.

CompliancemandatoryThis method is must be implemented.
MethodusePlenaryObjectiveBankView
Description

A complete view of the Objective and ObjectiveBank returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.

CompliancemandatoryThis method is must be implemented.
