Description	The Course Plan OSID is a service that maps syllabi defined in the Course Syllabus OSID to scheduled `Activities` to manage the logistics of following a lesson plan during an offering of a course. Plans A `Plan` is an `OsidRelationship` that relates a `Syllabus` to a `CourseOffering` to form a lesson plan. All or a selected set of `Modules` within a `Syllabus` may be included in the `Plan` . Lessons A `Lesson` is an `OsidRelationship` mapping a `Plan` to a `Docet` in a `Syllabus` . A `Lesson` has a time duration covering one or more `Activities` and may be checked off or skipped during the execution of the course. The `Activities` relating to `Lessons` are instances of an `Activity` as determined by the `Activity` schedule. Each instance of an `Activity` , such as the 10/31 lecture of a lecture `ActivityUnit` during fall semester, has its own `Id` that is referenced from a `Lesson` . `Lessons` may appear autoamtically from the creation of a `Plan` that is the result of an overlay of the `Syllabus` on to the set of `Activity` instances as determined by the `Activity` schedule. The `Lessons` can be examined or marked as skipped. Changes to the `Lesson` duration occur in its related `Docet` . `Lessons` may be anchored to begin at designated `Activity` instances using the `LessonAnchoringSession` . Overlaps or gaps in the overall lesson `Plan` can be examined in the `LessonConflictSession` . CourseCatalog Cataloging `Plans` and `Lessons` can be organized into federateable `CourseCatalog` catalogs.
