### 6.3.10 AssessmentSubTest

A psychological construct measured by the assessment. Operationally, a subtest is a class of scores on an assessment. Some assessments may have only one subtest or type of score but most assessments measure more than one psychological construct. The subtest can be based upon items in a section or items that are empirically related. Subtests can also be composites of other subtests that are combined using a particular algorithm. Examples of subtests of an assessment are math total, reading composite, total test, and English composition.

SIF_Events are not reported for this object.

### 6.3.16 LearningResourcePackage

Many instructional applications in a SIF zone need to share teaching and learning objects. Curriculum planning applications, content repositories, learning management systems, etc.—all of these systems need to share instructional content utilizing the `LearningResource` object.

The `LearningResourcePackage` object provides a transport envelope to move these files across the SIF zone.

Note: With SIF Implementation Specification version 2.4 the choice element depicted in the diagram below has changed. In the XSD files, the choice element used to be rendered as a sequence of optional elements. Now, in the XSD files, the choice element is rendered as an xs:choice. This may cause problems with agents that treat the choice element as two optional elements rather than a choice of one and only one of the choices.

SIF_Events are not reported for this object.

### 6.3.23 SchoolCourseInfo

This object is for course information.

All local ids in non-authoritative objects are optional. It is therefore up to the provider and the actual agent's design and choreography to determine whether or not to use or local ids from parent objects. There are cases in some subscribing systems where it might not possible to add RefId columns and therefore the RefId of related objects cannot be stored. For example a target system that listens to TimeTableSubject events and updates them may not be able to store the associated SchoolCourseInfoRefId with that object. The only way it can link the TimeTableSubject object with the appropriate course might be through its local course id. Having local ids that link the parent objects with the child object can simplify the agent design. Generally it is suggested to use the appropriate RefIds whenever possible and only use local ids if there is no other way to use RefIds.

### 6.3.37 StudentPeriodAttendance

This object allows recording of period level attendance a student. The Australian StudentPeriodAttendance object differs to the US StudentPeriodAttendance object in the following ways:

- Student Period Attendance object is usually linked to a SessionInfo object (see below), but it is possible, for simple period attendance packages, to not link period attendance to a session or timetable.
- There will be one provider of the StudentPeriodAttendance within a SIF Zone in Australia. The US, in contrast, has specified objects and events to allow for multiple providers of the StudentPeriodAttendance object in a zone.

SIF_Events are reported for this object.

### 6.3.39 StudentSchoolEnrollment

This object defines information related to a student's enrollment. StudentSchoolEnrollment instances must not span multiple school years.

Note there is only one current home enrollment at a time per student. Only one instance of the `StudentSchoolEnrollment` object must exist for a given student with `MembershipType`=`01` (Home School) and `TimeFrame`=`C` (Current) for the time interval between `EntryDate` and `ExitDate`, inclusive.

Agents are required to re-publish a `StudentSchoolEnrollment` object `Change` event when the `TimeFrame` attribute changes, regardless of when the data entry is done. This is in addition to the practice of publishing the object `Change` event at the time the data changes in the corresponding application.

When the object is re-published, it must contain all the data in the object that is supported by the publisher.

### 6.3.45 TeachingGroup

This object identifies a particular Teaching Group or class in a particular a time table.

The proposed object is based on the UK B1: TeachingGroup object. For the Australian object, a subject being taught at any one year level can have more than one teaching group in any one time table. Also a teaching group can be brought together for more than one subject.

All local ids in non-authoritative objects are optional. It is therefore up to the provider and the actual agent's design and choreography to determine whether or not to use or local ids from parent objects. There are cases in some subscribing systems where it might not possible to add RefId columns and therefore the RefId of related objects cannot be stored. For example a target system that listens to TimeTableSubject events and updates them may not be able to store the associated SchoolCourseInfoRefId with that object. The only way it can link the TimeTableSubject object with the appropriate course might be through its local course id. Having local ids that link the parent objects with the child object can simplify the agent design. Generally it is suggested to use the appropriate RefIds whenever possible and only use local ids if there is no other way to use RefIds.

SIF_Events are reported for this object.

### 6.3.47 TimeTable

The purpose of this object is to define a schedule or Time Table structure/skeleton for the school. The Time Table is produced by the Time Tabling software. Once the Time Table is produced, the time tabling software creates the schedule based on business rules and constraints to fit into the time table structure.

The proposed Time Table object is based on a combination of the proposed UK B6 – Timetable Cycle Object and Timetable Scope Object.

The Time Table is identified uniquely in the SIF Zone by its' GUID, School and School Year. A Time Table is linked to a particular school.

All local ids in non-authoritative objects are optional. It is therefore up to the provider and the actual agent's design and choreography to determine whether or not to use or local ids from parent objects. There are cases in some subscribing systems where it might not possible to add RefId columns and therefore the RefId of related objects cannot be stored. For example a target system that listens to TimeTableSubject events and updates them may not be able to store the associated SchoolCourseInfoRefId with that object. The only way it can link the TimeTableSubject object with the appropriate course might be through its local course id. Having local ids that link the parent objects with the child object can simplify the agent design. Generally it is suggested to use the appropriate RefIds whenever possible and only use local ids if there is no other way to use RefIds.

SIF_Events are reported for this object.

### 6.3.48 TimeTableCell

The purpose of this object is to identify a specific cell within a particular TimeTable. A time table is a structure that represents all the available days and times (periods) for which a particular teaching group, or subject can be scheduled.

A TimeTableCell is uniquely identified in the ZIF zone by its' GUID.

And the following must be provided at object creation:

- the timetable it belongs to,
- the subject that is being scheduled,
- the teaching group (representing the students, teachers and subject),
- the room that is allocated,
- the allocated teacher.

All local ids in non-authoritative objects are optional. It is therefore up to the provider and the actual agent's design and choreography to determine whether or not to use or local ids from parent objects. There are cases in some subscribing systems where it might not possible to add RefId columns and therefore the RefId of related objects cannot be stored. For example a target system that listens to TimeTableSubject events and updates them may not be able to store the associated SchoolCourseInfoRefId with that object.

Having local ids that link the parent objects with the child object can simplify the agent design. Generally it is suggested to use the appropriate RefIds whenever possible and only use local ids if there is no other way to use RefIds.

### 6.3.49 TimeTableSubject

This purpose of this object is to define and communicate the subject or distinct piece of curriculum that needs to be scheduled by the time table generator. This is a new object proposed to meet SIF-AU needs. Reviews of the existing specifications identified two relevant objects – SchoolCourseInfo, defined in SIF US 2.2 specification and SchoolGroup, defined within the SIF UK 1.1 specification. These objects appear to have some similar context but seem overly complex considering that Australian requirements, which are limited to the Student Administration System or Curriculum Delivery System providing base information to the Time Tabling application about what curriculum offerings are being proposed. When this data is sent in a Request/Response only those subjects that are relevant to be scheduled (or active), should be sent to the TimeTabling application.

All local ids in non-authoritative objects are optional. It is therefore up to the provider and the actual agent's design and choreography to determine whether or not to use or local ids from parent objects. There are cases in some subscribing systems where it might not possible to add RefId columns and therefore the RefId of related objects cannot be stored. For example a target system that listens to TimeTableSubject events and updates them may not be able to store the associated SchoolCourseInfoRefId with that object. The only way it can link the TimeTableSubject object with the appropriate course might be through its local course id. Having local ids that link the parent objects with the child object can simplify the agent design. Generally it is suggested to use the appropriate RefIds whenever possible and only use local ids if there is no other way to use RefIds.

SIF_Events are reported for this object.
