The Learning OSID manages learning objectives. A
learning Objective describes measurable
learning goals.
Objectives
Objectives describe measurable learning
goals. A learning objective may be measured by a related
Assesment. Objectives may be
mapped to levels, A level is represented by a Grade
which is used to indicate a grade level or level
of difficulty.
Objectives are hierarchical. An
Objective with children represents an objective
that is inclusive of all its children. For example, an
Objective that represents learning in
arithmetic may be composed of objectives that represent
learning in both addition and subtraction.
Objectives may also have requisites. A
requisite objective is one that should be achieved before
an objective is attempted.
Activities
An Activity describes actions that one
can do to meet a learning objective. An Activity
includes a list of Assets to read
or watch, or a list of Courses to take, or
a list of learning Assessments to practice.
An Activity may also represent other
learning activities such as taking a course or practicing
an instrument. An Activity is specific to
an Objective where the reusability is
achieved based on what the Activity
relates.
Proficiencies
A Proficiency is an
OsidRelationship measuring the competence of a
Resource with respect to an Objective.
Objective Bank Cataloging
Objectives, Activities, and
Proficiencies can be organized into hierarchical
ObjectiveBanks for the purposes of
categorization and federation.
Concept Mapping
A concept can be modeled as a learning
Objective without any related Assessment
or Activities. In this scenario, an
Objective looks much like the simpler
Subject in the Ontology OSID. The Ontology
OSID is constrained to qualifying concepts while the
relations found in an Objective allow for
the quantification of the learning concept and providing
paths to self-learning.
The Topology OSID may also be used to construct and
view a concept map. While a Topology OSID Provider may be
adapted from a Learning OSID or an Ontology OSID, the
topology for either would be interpreted from a
multi-parented hierarchy of the Objectives
and Subjects respectively.
Courses
The Learning OSID may be used in conjunction with the
Course OSID to identify dsired learning oitcomes from a
course or to align the course activities and syllabus with
stated learning objectives. The Course OSID describes
learning from a structured curriculum management point of
view where the Learning OSID and allows for various
objectives to be combined and related without any regard
to a prescribed curriculum.
Sub Packages
The Learning OSID contains a Learning Batch OSID for
bulk management of Objectives,
Activities, and Proficiencies .
