Interface LessonAnchoringSession

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidSession

public interface LessonAnchoringSession
extends OsidSession

This session provides a way of "anchoring" lessons with a plan. Lessons correspond to their corresponding Docents laid out along the related Activities. The LessonAnchor ties a Lesson to a specific Activity or at a specific time offet within the specific Activity.

Automatic generation of Lessons should be constrained around the LessonAnchors.
