Proposed resolutions for the Record of Results data model #185

Closed cbahim closed 1 year ago

cbahim commented 3 years ago

As presented during our tenth webinar, work package editors carried out a testing exercise with a subset of member states. For this exercise, volunteers were tasked to test the model against instance data and look at both the provider and consumer perspective. As a result, some comments were made on the potential flaws and blind spots of the current education credentials common data models. In the table below you can find a list of changes concerning the record of results that will be applied to the model. Note that changes marked ‘quick fix’ will be made to the model regardless of the discussions on this thread. Changes marked as ‘proposal’ are up for discussion. If by the end of April 2021, no objections are made, work package editors shall proceed with the changes.

Evidence Attribute Issue Solution Type
Record of Result Course academic year The definition isn’t clear enough Clarifiy the definition and clearly dissociate with the diploma supplement academic year Quick fix
Record of Result Total credits Attribute is redundant with diploma supplement Remove the attribute Proposal
Record of Result N/A Course id is missing Add course id attribute Proposal
Record of Result Course academic period The expected type isn’t appropriate Change to Period Quick fix
Record of Result Course academic year The definition isn’t clear enough Improve the definition Quick fix
Record of Result Course credit amount N/A Align on Europass Learning model for the attribute Quick fix
Record of Result N/A Course learning outcome is missing Add learning outcome attribute Proposal
Record of Result Academic year Academic year is already present in the diploma supplement Remove the attribute Proposal

additionally, the definition of record of result has been simplified. Further, the course academic period expects information related to e.g. semester, trimester, etc. Can a periodtype deliver this type of information?
