Downloads / Logging Format (XSD/DTD)

The PSLC Logging Format, also known as the Tutor Message format, is used to log the details of student and tutor actions. It is defined in an XML Schema Definition (XSD file) and a Document Type Definition (DTD file). Of these two files, the XML Schema is normative and should be used for the purposes of validation.

Version 4 / DataShop v2.x (Last updated September 2007)

• tutor_message_v4.xsd — XML Schema (normative, should be used for validation).
• tutor_message_v4.dtd — Document Type Definition (informal, but still suppported)
• tutor_message_v4.xml — XML sample that conforms to the Tutor Message format.
