Enrollment

An enrollment is the name given to an individual taking part in a class. In the vast majority of cases, users will be students learning in a class, or teachers teaching the class. Other roles are also possible.

Interoperability ID sourcedId The sourcedId of the object. All objects MUST be identified by a Source Identifier. This is a GUID System ID for an object. This is the GUID that SYSTEMS will refer to when making API calls, or when needing to identify an object. It is RECOMMENDED that systems are able to map whichever local ids (e.g. database key fields) they use to SourcedId. The sourcedId of an object is considered an addressable property of an entity and as such will not be treated as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) by certified products. Therefore, as a part of certification, vendors will be required to declare that they will notify customers via documentation or other formal and documented agreement that sourcedIds should never contain PII in general, but particularly users. This means that if a customer includes a student name in an enrollment.sourcedId, it will not fall to any certified product to protect the enrollment.sourcedId as PII, or even the userSourcedId field in the enrollment record.

Academic Session

The container for an academicSession. An academicSession represents a duration of time. Typically they are used to describe terms, grading periods, and other durations e.g. school years. Term is used to describe a period of time during which learning will take place. Other words for term could be in common use around the world e.g. Semester. The important thing is that Term is a unit of time, often many weeks long, into which classes are scheduled. Grading Period is used to represent another unit of time, that within which line items are assessed. A term may have many grading periods, a grading period belongs to a single term. A class may be assessed over several grade periods (represented by a line item being connected to a grading period). The parent / child attributes of academic sessions allow terms to be connected to their grading periods and vice-versa.

Course

The information about a course. A Course is a course of study that, typically, has a shared curriculum although it may be taught to different students by different teachers. It is likely that several classes of a single course may be taught in a term. For example, a school runs Grade 9 English in the spring term. There are four classes, each with a different 30 students, taught by 4 different teachers. However the curriculum for each of those four classes is the same i.e. the course curriculum.
