Intent is to start generating markdown pages using Foam format for eventual inclusion in memex.

To do#

  • Develop acLearningArea.py class to start creating
  • Handle learning areas without sub strands
  • Implement better inheritance
  • add ability to load multiple learning areas/files
  • Initial design of pages
  • Refine memex pages
  • add in accordions or similar of achievement standards
  • exclude primary - do just high school
  • improve the individual content descriptions pages by
    • add details of the subject, year level, strand/sub-strand that is related
    • perhaps also add any related elaborations
    • experiment adding in memex meta data (see below)
    • use a toml heading

`--- title: "" type: note tags: v9ac, , , ,

australianCurriculum.py#

Intent is to have a Python class that

  • takes one or more learning area/subject RDF file from the Australian Curriculum, and
  • breaks it up into a Python data structure

  • Ability to access each of the components of the curriculum

  • learningAreas

dict keyed on learning area name, contains information about all the learning areas that have been added to this object (by parsing different RDF files)

  • subjects

dict keyed on subject name, containing all info about the subjects

- `subjectId`, `title`, `abbreviation`,`dateModified`
- `yearLevels`

  dict keyed on year level

  - `subjectId`, `title`, `abbreviation`,`dateModified`
  - `achievementStandard`

    acAchivementStandard object
    - `subjectId`, `title`, `abbreviation`,`dateModified`
    - `components`

      dict keyed on AC id and values acAchivementStandardComponent

  - Strand

    - subStrand (optional)

  - `contentDescriptions` - dict keyed on content description code
    - `elaborations` - list of strings
    - `relatedContent` - list of strings
    - `description` - string

structure#

Other top level information#

Maybe

  • contentDescriptions top level dict with all content descriptions (across multiple learning areas/subjects) keyed by code

Learning/areas subjects#

Dict subjects to contain objects of acSubject holding all information about the subjects in a learning area. In a learning area like mathematics which has no subjects, there's just the one subject.

Keyed on the name of the subject as per the Australian Curriculum

Each learning area contains

  • ??? what subject level stuff goes here???
  • yearLevels keyed on numeric/string year level foundation to year 10.
  • levelDescription string
  • achievementStandard dict keyed on
    • text string
    • components array of strings
  • contentDescriptions dict keyed on the content description code
    • elaborations - list/dict of strings
    • relatedContent - list/dict
  • ``

Initial design#

Page structure

  • v9-australian-curriculum.md - "home" page

Initially generate a list of learning areas/subjects (my subset). Learning areas and subjects will be used interchangeably. As the main unit for descriptions etc.

  • learning area.md - all details for a given learning area/subject

Organised by year level - preceeded by any learning area level information. Each year level contains the general year level information (not context descriptions) as accordions or similar. Then a table of content descriptions that are links to individual pages. Use of tooltips to contain the descriptions' summaries

See also: v9-australian-curriculum.md

  • content description code.md - all information for the content description

Detail, elaborations, related content and my own notes.
