•Course offering is the main construct for grouping of sections into courses. Doesn’t correspond directly to any ISIS data.•Each Course offering has a 1-1 relationship with some Course template.•A Course offering belongs to a department and a term.


Classes: lecture/lab/discussion

Lecture, lab, and discussion sections are all handled in the same manner. Belongs to a Course offering.

The Sourced.id has a format which contains “metadata” for the parent class number in ISIS. This is used for grade submission.
