Description

cdss_wf_read_skill_assignment expects an ODS or XLSX file with two sheets assigning taught and required, respectively, skills to learning objects with two columns each. Alternatively, two CSV files can be specified. In the sheets/CSV files, the first column contains the IDs of learning objects and the second row the IDs of single skills required or taught, respectively, by this learning object. It returns a list of two binary matrices, "taught" and "required". Each matrix has one row per learning object and one column per skill. The cells contain a "1" if the skill is taught or required, respectively, by the learning object and a "0" otherwise,
