Opensis Integration

This document hopes to outline the goals of integrating OpenSIS with Moodle.

Major Milestones

1. MySQL integration
2. Transition to adodb
   1. Transition to moodle/lib/dmllib.php calls
3. Reevaluate OpenSIS language strings (get terminology matching with Moodle)
4. Reevaluate OpenSIS table structures
5. Assessment OpenSIS security
   1. ensure md5 passwords

Desired functionality from integration

1. Users - Single signon for teachers, students, administrators between both systems. The disadvantage to this is that an account will need to be created in OpenSIS for all Moodle users. Alternatively, OpenSIS could use Moodle for authentication which allows for authentication via LDAP and others.
2. Courses - Courses created in OpenSIS should automatically create a course in Moodle. By default, this should use the following Course category hierarchy (Marking period, subject (department), course).
3. Enrollments - Teachers and students assigned to a course/period should be automatically enrolled in the Moodle course.
4. Grades -
