Grading Open Service Interface Definitions grading version 3.0.0
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.
