All Rights Reserved. The CourseOffering complexType is the container for the occurence of a course in a specific session e.g. term, semester, etc. A CourseTemplate can have several CourseOfferings and each CourseOffering can have several CourseSections. The CourseOfferingRecord complexType is the container for the relationship between the GUID of the CourseOffering object and the object itself. The CourseOfferingRecordSet is the complexType for the set of CourseOfferingRecords. The CourseSection complexType is a way to represent a group of people associated with a course or class. These groups may include everyone in the class or course, or may be subsets of that whole group. CourseSections may have sub-sections (these are created as separate Group objects linked using a relationship). The CourseSectionRecord is the complexType for the relationship between the GUID for the CourseSection Record object and the object itself. The CourseSectionRecordSet is the complexType for the set of CourseSectionRecords. The CourseTemplate complexType is the top-level container for the Course Template data model. A CourseTemplate is a general course that exists across terms, semesters, etc. It is an abstract course representation. The CourseTemplateRecord complexType is the container for the association between the GUID of the CourseTemplate and the object itself. The CourseTemplateRecordSet is the complexType for the set of CourseTemplateRecords. The Description complexType is the container for all of the material that is used to describe something. It has short (text), long (text) and full (multimedia) forms. The EnrollControl complexType is the container for the data that is used to control enrollment on the associated activity. The ExtensionField complexType is the container for each of the extension points. This is a name/type/value triple. The FullDescription complexType is the container for the multmedia-based description. The IMSExtension complexType is the container for the set of extension information. The ListofCourseSectionIds complexType is the container for the list of associated CourseSections. The ListofPrerequisities complexType is the container for the set of pre-reqisities fr the CourseTemplae. The ListofTopics complexType is the container for the list of topics that are covered in a Course derived from the CourseTemplate. The Metadata complexType is the container for meta-data that is used to describe an object. At the current time this is just a set of name/type/value triples. The Org complexType is the container for data about the organization that 'owns' the course structure. The SectionAssociation complexType is used to contain the identity of a set of associated CourseSections. This includes the label, title and status of the SectionAssociation. The SectionAssociationRecord is the container for the relationship between the GUID of the SectionAssociation object and the object itself. The SectionAssociationRecordSet is the complexType for the set of SectionAssociationRecords. The SourcedGUID complexType is the container for the extended sourcedId. The extension is the reference agent instance identifier. The Text complexType is the container for a language specific string. The language is denoted using an external vocabulary containing the permitted codes (based upon RFC4646). The TimeFrame complexType is the container for time information about the course component.
