Abstract:

Described is a technology in which an educational service provides contracts (an interface set) for calling functions that allow management of educational-related data. The interface set may be divided as interfaces to various services; roles associated with users of the educational service determine which interfaces/functions each user can call. The interfaces may include interfaces for calling course-related functions (e.g., of a course service), profile-related functions (e.g., of a profile service), membership-related functions (e.g., of a membership service) and task-related functions (e.g., of a task service). Other interfaces may include interfaces for calling plan-related functions, group-related functions, content-related functions, notification-related functions, provisioning-related functions, institution-related functions, department-related functions, utilities-related functions, standards-related functions, degree program-related functions, contextual communication-related functions and/or scoring related functions.

Abstract:

A non-limiting example method includes receiving a request to publish content that is stored on a user storage server in a personal data store. The method includes preparing the content for publication and moving the prepared content to a content repository to generate published content. The method includes receiving a request to make a personal copy of the published content and making a copy of the published content in a personal data store in a user storage server. The copy is independently editable of the published content. A non-limiting example system includes an application programming interface that includes a publish command to generate a published copy of a specified first content stored in a first personal data store in a content repository, and a retrieve command that generates a personal copy of a specified second content stored in the content repository in a second personal data store.
