The Open Service Interface Definitions for the org.osid.course.syllabus service.
The Course Syllabus OSID is a service that manages curriculum within a
Course and relating the material to learning Objectives to
create lesson plans. It may be defined very broadly or at a fine-grained
level to facilitate the production of lesson Plans in the Course
Plan OSID.
Syllabus
A Syllabus is an OsidObject representing the content of
a Course . A Course may have multiple syllabi.
Module
A Module is a major division of a Syllabus .
Modules are OsidGovernators that may be toggled for inclusion in
an overall Syllabus . Modules are subdivided into
Docets .
Docet
A Docet is an OsidRelationship serving as a piece of
content within a Module. A Docet relates to one or more learning
Objectives . The learning Objectives visible through a
Course may be built up using the Course Syllabus OSID.
Each Docet may include Assets for materials serving to
instruct this portion of the Course or Assessments for
quizzes and assignments.
A Docet may be a portion of an activity that is designated is
in or out of class time and an estimated time duration. The Course Plan
OSID can examine the in class Docets and their durations to
understand the schedule of lesson plans through a CourseOffering in
a Term .
Docets may apply to a subset of ActivityUnits with a
Course .
Although Docets may be defined at very broad levels covering
multiple learning Objectives and multiple ActivityUniits
with long durations, when managed down to the level of a single
Objective can serve to structure the lesson plan, homework assignments,
and other exercises within a single instance of an Activity
offering.
CourseCatalog Cataloging
Syllabi , Modules , and Docets can be organized
into federateable CourseCatalog catalogs.
