We are working on the analysis of big data to help develop e-learning platform for our university and looking for some info from you !!!! Please provide us an initiative by clarifying !!!
- We need to get the below big data information from my university's database: the enrolled student list, course materials, grades and related university info stored in the database. I have seen the Valence REST APIs of D2L and so thinking to use them to get the information from the database. Is that possible to get the university's data? If so, please guide me how I could do that or any docs to refer?
Note:[My university uses Desire2learn to share the course materials, assignments, grades and so we hope we could get the necessary authorization to access its data base information]
Do I need to have the university back-end web server address ? How can I get pull up the required info? (I am not sure where the data is stored exactly as I couldn't find any database info or data models in the valence website)
If 2 is true => Is it the correct resource to follow to use apis in our application? http://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/basic/apicall.html
Lastly, where can I know about the data base structure/organization/models? Is the data stored in the form of logs or files in the database and can be pulled out as a file/log ???
Please let us know .... Any additional information / help is appreciated !!!!
Thanks, Desire2Learn User
