1 year ago @jeannekitchens are you sure about the definition?
Enrollment rate refers to the percentage of eligible individuals who register for a particular ceterms:LearningOpportunity,
I don't think a definition with "a particular ceterms:LearningOpportunity" works. For most LearningOpportunities the number of people eligible is going to be in the millions, the number enrolling in any particular L.Op. is not likely to be above a thousand and will normally be much less, so the percentage will always be ~0%.
The examples you give are all sector-wide, aggregated over many LearningOpportunities, not for a particular LearningOpportunity.
I don't know how we could handle sector-wide stats in Credential Engine. What entities do we have that are sector wide? We define some audience sectors, but do these align with the ones for which there are stats--i.e. how do we combine Audience classifications with Jurisdiction?
Enrollment rate refers to the percentage of eligible individuals who register for a particular ceterms:LearningOpportunity, ceterms:LearningProgram, ceterms:Course, ceterms:Credential, or ceterms:Assessment Profile.
This property needs to be explicit. Enrollment rates are a widely used metric in education and are available for many countries around the world.
This is also to support Equity Council use cases explictely called out in the final Council's report to be released in June
