Data Source Connectors
Providing the infrastructure to link data stores and services via modular connectors and standard APIs.
The data source connectors allow various systems, including student information systems, learning management systems, and human resource systems, to act as data sources, providing translation from the source data formats to the OSID services used internally.
Banner Source Connectors: Student/Course/Program
This covers the initial set of connectors for Ellucian’s Banner System. These connectors connect via the SQL layer and cover the following OSID Services:
Course Services
| Course | Provides course management services for educational offerings or other learning units related to an event or curriculum. Courses may be used to model a class, conference tutorial session, or even a meetup group. http://osid.org/specifications/osid/course/package.html |
| Course::Term | A Term is a time period in which Courses can be offered. The Term includes a set of course related milestones including a date range in which classes occur. http://osid.org/specifications/osid/course/Term.html |
| Course::Program | The Program is a canonical learning unit describing the overall content of a program, completion requirements, and earned credentials. http://osid.org/specifications/osid/course/program/package.html |
| Course::Program (Credential) | A Credential is something awarded to the student at the completion of a Program. Examples include: Certificates, Degrees, and Badges http://osid.org/specifications/osid/course/program/Credential.html |
| Course::Chronicle (ProgramEntry) | A ProgramEntry represents an academic record entry for a Program. A ProgramEntry is the relationship between a student and a Program. http://osid.org/specifications/osid/course/chronicle/ProgramEntry.html |
| Course::Chronicle (CourseEntry) | A CourseEntry represents an academic record entry for a course. The fields in the CourseEntry are specific to a Term. http://osid.org/specifications/osid/course/chronicle/CourseEntry.html |

| Course::Activity | An Activity is a recurring activity in a course offering. The Activity allows for some information, such as seating constraints and instructors, to be managed at this level instead of the CourseOffering level. This OSID is usually used to manage course sections. http://osid.org/specifications/osid/course/Activity.html |
| Course:Registration | Used to describe the relationship between a student and a course offering. http://osid.org/specifications/osid/course/registration/Registration.html |
