### 3.3.11 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.

### 3.3.18 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.

### 3.3.28 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.

SIF_Events are reported for this object.

### 3.3.45 Sif3AssessmentSubTest

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.

| SubTestGradeLevels | O | Grade levels for which the subtest scores are valid. | YearLevels
| AssessmentSubTestRefIds | O | References (possibly recursive) to other SIF AssessmentSubTests. This enables subtests or scores to be composites of other scores creating a parent/child hierachy. If any references are given here, the score is a composite score (it is a parent). The most common composite score is for total test score. The list must be unique. It is also important to note that composite scores may not be simple sums of the subordinate sub test scores. | List

| Items/Item/Response | M | Answer selected or student work in raw format. Examples C 19 | xs:string
| Items/Item/ResponseLocation | O | An optional element that contains a URL pointing to the location of the response or additional response. | xs:anyURI
| Items/Item/ResponseCorrectness | O | After the test has been scored, this value will indicate the correctness of the response. This element will be missing if the response has not yet been scored. For open ended items that are scored using a rubric, this value will also likely be missing. These items do not fall nicely into the right/wrong category. | values: correct incorrect partial Partially Correct
| Items/Item/ViewStatus | O | This element will indicate if the item has been viewed or not by the student. Note this value can only be determined for online delivered tests. Paper tests should not use this attribute. | values: yes Student viewed the item no Student did not view the item
| Items/Item/AttemptStatus | O | This element indicates if the student attempted the item. If a full or partial response is present then the item should be considered attempted. If the student never responded then the item was not attempted. If the item was answered and then later the answer was removed, then it is the rule of the assessment system that would determine if that was considered an attempt. For paper tests, an erasure would also be determined by the rules of the assessment system (assuming gray scanning scale capabilities). | values: yes Student attempted the item no Student did not attempt the item
| Items/Item/NumberOfAttempts | O | The number of times a student changes their answer or attempts a response. For online tests, this would represent each time an item was changed after the original (complete) response was provided and the student navigated away from the item. For paper-based tests, if erasure analysis is performed, this could represent either the number of erasures or be set to 2 if multiple responses are detected. | xs:unsignedInt
| Items/Item/TimeOnItem | O | The length of time the student spent viewing or answering this item. Only applies for online tests. If the student viewed the item multiple times, then this would be the accumulated total time spent on the item. As much as is possible, the delivery system should remove inter-item latency or item presentation time. | xs:duration
| Items/Item/ItemNumber | O | Identifies the sequence of the item as it was delivered to this student. For adaptive testing, this is the sequence in which the item was delivered. This should be the item sequence starting at 1 and continuing to the end of the test (spanning all sections). This should include all items such as sample items. | xs:token
| Items/Item/ItemName | O | Identifies the item on the assessment by name. | xs:token
| Items/Item/AssessmentRubricRefId | O | This identifies the rubric that was used to determine the score that is being recorded for this item response. This is only used for items that are scored using one or more rubrics. | RefIdType
| Items/Item/ItemScore | O | This is the score the student received on the specific item. | xs:token
| Items/Item/ItemScoreCode | O | This is the score code the student received for the specific item. Generally only applies to open ended items. Values are program specific, but example values might be 'BL = blank', 'OT = off topic', 'FL = foreign language'. | xs:token
| Items/Item/Comments | O | If the scoring process provides for comment codes, then this list will contain each comment code provided with the item score. | List
| Items/Item/Comments/Comment | MR |  |
| Items/Item/Comments/Comment/ CommentCode | M | For each comment provided, this will identify the specific code for the comment. These codes will be program specific (no standardized values). | xs:token

| Items/Item/TraitScores | O | If the item includes trait scores – typically open ended items – then this list will support one or more trait scores. | List
| Items/Item/TraitScores/TraitScore | MR | This is the container for the trait score elements. |
| Items/Item/TraitScores/TraitScore/ TraitScoreType | O | If trait scores are provided, then this identifies the specific trait score that is provided. This value will be program specific (i.e. no standardized list of values available). | xs:token
| Items/Item/TraitScores/TraitScore/ TraitScoreValue | O | This will be the numeric trait score value. | xs:token
| Items/Item/TraitScores/TraitScore/ TraitScoreCode | O | If there is a code associated with the trait score, then this will allow for identifying the code. | xs:token
| Items/Item/FeedbackItems | O | This list will support providing feedback to the student from multiple sources. | List
| Items/Item/FeedbackItems/ FeedbackItem | MR |  |
| Items/Item/FeedbackItems/ FeedbackItem/FeedbackCode | O | If there is a coding system associated with the feedback concerning the score, then this will identify that code. The format and content of the code is determined by the assessment program. | xs:token
| Items/Item/FeedbackItems/ FeedbackItem/DiagnosticStatement | O | Psychometric purpose or design-related comment about the question. | xs:string
| Items/Item/FeedbackItems/ FeedbackItem/FeedbackDescription | O | This is further qualification of a Student Score. If this is a teacher scored item, then this may be comments the teacher is providing back to the student. | xs:string
| Items/Item/FeedbackItems/ FeedbackItem/FeedbackSource | O | This indicates the source for this feedback. May indicate if this is teacher, scorer, or system generated feedback. Values for this attribute would be determined by the assessment program. | xs:string

### 3.3.56 StudentPeriodAttendance

This object allows recording of period level attendance for 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.

### 3.3.65 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.

### 3.3.67 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.

### 3.3.68 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. 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.

### 3.3.69 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.
