Ages vs. grades #27

Closed TuulaP closed 9 years ago

Hi, It seems that minimumAge of the API converts directly to the corresponding grade range? E.g. MinAge: 1, MaxAge: 9 and grade shows as 1-9.

Then second question from LMS workings, if CMS marks certain material to grade: 9, can LMS side then "override" it, if teacher so chooses? I.e. would LMS block certain age range in some cases?

The conversion to the grades is actually done only in the front-end part of the system, so it's not saved anywhere. Metadata is still in the database as e.g. MinAge: 1, MaxAge: 99 and LMS gets it in that format. And about the conversion: Basaar converts ages 0-7 to the grade 1, age 8 to the grade 2 etc.
