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.
