From General NPAC Foils-98A starting January 98 (PowerPoint) Physics Colloquium -- March 19 98. by Geoffrey C. Fox


We have a set of containers -- courses, training modules, degree programs, lectures, online Universities ....
We have a set of base curricula entities
  • This can be defined at various level of granularities. It is probably useful to optimize around a base unit that is a "blackboard full" or "screenfull"
  • This base unit is aggregated into hierarchical containers
  • It is itself made up of smaller objects
There are a set of people (students, teachers, administrators) with properties
There are relationships such as courses taken and grades gotten by students
There are a set of Services and Tools manipulating objects
