Assets

This is the master definition for types of items that are supported on Sunbird. Example from education - Question set is an asset Analogous example from the real-world - A foot wear is an asset

An asset is the core system entity through which any type of asset is managed. Services such as creation, modification, publishing, discovery, consumption - are built around the core assets.

Knowlg provides a generalized and externalized asset model as shown in the below diagram.

Key Capabilities of Sunbird Assets:

Enables you to define your own domain specific assets and their properties using configurable and extensible attributes.

Below assets are currently defined in Sunbird. You can define new assets basis your needs.

a) Content - This asset allows you to create a variety of content enabling you to deliver rich learning experiences.

e) Media Resources - This asset type comprises of lowest level of reusable assets such as images, video, audio files etc

Enables creation of categories to cater to domain specific solutions through configuration without any code changes.

Unlike an Asset, which is a core entity of the system, a category is just a “label” tagged to an object and can defined a specific set of properties and behaviors - which are a subset of those supported by the asset.

Hence, categories are completely driven by configuration, without any category specific logic implemented in the code.

Example from education - Exam Question paper, Practice Worksheet, Quiz each one is a category of the asset type Question set. Analogous example from the real-world - A Shoe, Sandal, Flip-flops each one is a category of the asset type foot wear.

Provides rich and customizable tagging frameworks to efficiently organize your assets and help users discover relevant assets.

Provides tools such as editors and players to create and consume these assets.
