Package org.osid.grading
The Open Service Interface Definitions for the org.osid.grading service.
The Grading OSID defines a service to apply grades or ratings.
Grade Systems
The grade system sessions provide the means to retrievs and manage
GradeSystem definitions. A GradeSystem is a fixed set of
Grades . GradeSystems may also take the form of a numerical
score as well as a rating based on some system. GradeEntries belong
to a single GradebookColumn .
Gradebook Columns
A Gradebook is represented by a series of
GradebookColumns . A GradeBookColumn represents a something to be
graded and is joined to a single GradeSystem . A
GradebookColumn may be constrained to a single grader.
Grade Entries
A GradebookColumn is comprised of a series of
GradeEntry elements. A GradebookColumn may represent "Assignment
3" while a GradeEntry may represent the assignment turned in by a
particular student.
A Grade can be applied to a GradeEntry that relates the
entry to a grader and a key Resource . In the case of a class
gradebook, the key resource represents the student. If there are multiple
graders for the same key resource, each grader gets their own
GradebookColumn .
Gradebooks may also be used to capture ratings about other objects. In
the case where people vote for their favorite assets, the key resource
represents the Asset .
GradebookColumns may have a GradebookColumnSummary entry
for summary results and statistics across all GradeEntries in the
column.
Gradebook Cataloging
GradebookColumns are organized into Gradebooks .
Gradebooks also provide for a federated hierarchy of
GradebookColumns . Simple reordering of GradebookColumns can be
performed by moving the GradebookColumn relative to another. The
relative positioning may reference two GradebookColumns through the
federation.
Sub Packages
The Grading OSID includes several subpackages. The Grading Transform
OSID provides a means of translating one GradeSystem to another.
The Grading Calculation OSID defines derived GradebookColumns . The
Grading Batch OSID manages GradeSystems , GradeEntries ,
Gradebooks , and GradebookColumns in bulk.
