Use program objects to track how your learning offerings are structured and administered, and what they require for enrollment and completion. Education Cloud Program Objects let you customize all your programs for ease of use.
- Learning—Information that defines curriculum that can be made available as a course, program, or on-site experience for a contact.
- Learning Program—Information about curricula in a program that’s required to obtain a credential.
- Learning Program Plan—Details of a plan that’s created to execute a learning program.
- Learning Program Plan Requirement—Information about the requirements of a learning outcome that’s included in the learning program plan.
- Learner Program—Details about a learning program plan that’s created for a specific learner.
- Learner Program Requirement—The requirement that a learner is required to complete in their assigned learning program plan.
- Learner Program Requirement Progress—Information about the progress of a requirement that a learner is required to complete as a part of the assigned program plan.
- Learning Foundation Item—A prerequisite, co-requisite, or the recommended learning that’s required for a learning outcome.
- Learning Achievement—The outcome of a learning activity.
- Learning Outcome Item—The mapping between a learning and its related outcome.
Programs can be degree or credential programs, academic support programs, recreational programs, continuing education, and more. We use the same architectural building blocks to model each of them in Education Cloud.
A Sample Degree Program Offering
See an example of how Education Cloud objects represent a program offering.
The Biological Sciences Department at Astro University offers an undergraduate Biology degree. This degree program is represented with these objects.
- At Astro University, Biology is an example of learning.
- The B.S. Biology degree is a learning program at Astro University.
- Biology Catalog Year 2023–2024 is the learning program plan for B.S. Biology.
- The learning program plan includes all of the learning program plan requirements, including biology, math, and general elective courses.
To earn the B.S. Biology degree, students complete a sequence of study defined in the university’s course catalog. These high-level requirements for the degree are organized using the learning program plan object. For the student cohort enrolling in the 2023–2024 academic year, a learning program plan record named Biology Catalog Year 2023–2024 represents the set of requirements in effect at that time. When Astro University finalizes its catalog for the next academic year, requirements likely changed slightly and are captured in another Program Plan record named Biology Catalog Year 2024–2025.
The learning program plan object represents a general set of requirements. The learning program plan requirement object represents the specific requirements, such as required courses, thesis work, or an internship.
To help organize your programs, we recommend that you create accounts for each department or college in your institution. Then, when you create records, assign them to the appropriate account.
