1. Content & Learning
Multimedia interactive lessons (InteractiveLesson) with slides and embedded widgets, and curated open educational resources (ResourceLearning).
OPS Specifications Repository
The OPS Specifications Repository contains the YAML files comprising ColabEdu’s pedagogical catalog. Following the Pedagogy as Code paradigm, every dimension of the learning process—from statutory framework to onscreen interactivity or rubric grading—is expressed in human-readable and AI-executable specifications.
Pedagogical Organization
Unlike legacy CMS solutions where everything is treated as a flat “post” or “question”, OPS categorizes resources by their pedagogical role:
2. Assessment & Grading
Official immutable rubrics (BlockRubric), orchestration recipes (Recipe), exam instruments (ExerciseSpec), and items (AssessmentItem).
3. Curriculum & Management
Sovereign course instances (CourseSpec), curriculum frameworks (PathwayTemplate), jurisdictions (Taxonomy), and cohort freeze snapshots (CourseBundle).
4. Governance & Roles (C3)
Classroom didactic directives (Directive) and pedagogical AI personas (Persona) establishing the ethical and educational boundary of AI.
Sovereignty and GitOps Principles
- Atomic Versioning: Every specification resides in semantically versioned Git repositories (
1.0.0). Any curricular update requires an auditable Pull Request. - Decoupled Definition from Execution: Rubrics and exams are authored once in YAML and deployed across diverse LMS systems (Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom) via LTI Advantage v1.3.
- Session-Level Immutability: When a student begins an assignment, the engine compiles an immutable Snapshot. No subsequent changes to rubrics or guidelines alter retroactive grades.
Open Standard vs. Partner Tooling
| Dimension | Open Standard OPS (colabedu.org) | Platform & Partners (colabedu.net) |
|---|---|---|
| Definitions & Schemas | All public YAML schemas (C0, C1, C2, Containers). | Enterprise telemetry and sovereign district data sync schemas. |
| Official Taxonomies | LOMLOE (Spain), CDE (California), College Board (AP), IB Diploma. | Proprietary institutional taxonomies for private networks. |
| Content Generation | Schema documentation and validation examples. | Full Content Factory (ACA), ce-cli, batch pipelines, and .imscc / .mbz ingestion. |
| AI Grading & Tutoring | Open interfaces for evaluation and feedback contracts. | Multi-criteria scoring calibration, bias audits, and anti-cheating engines. |
