Student Gradebook Interchange - v2.1
- Ian Christopher
- Becky McKnight
The Student Gradebook interchange describes student gradebook entries. Gradebook entries are assignments and students' results on those assignments. The assignments themselves may be linked to learning standards or learning objectives.
Like all standard Ed-Fi interchanges, this schema references the Ed-Fi Core XSD and can be extended using the Ed-Fi Extensions Framework. See the XML Design & Implementation Guidelines for more information.
Use Cases
The Student Gradebook Interchange can be used to:
- Exchange assignments created by teachers and optionally linked to learning standards or learning objectives.
- Exchange students' performance on assignments.
