  3. XCRI • Currently no standardised way of capturing and presenting course information for part-time, online and distance learning • Potential students finding inaccurate, incomplete course information, and cant compare courses to select appropriate course for their educational need and practical circumstances. • Right student on the right course = better retention & progression.

  4. XCRI Background to XCRI and XCRI-CAP • XCRI is a JISC-funded, UK-oriented project to establish a specification to support the eXchange of Course-Related Information. • Started in 2005 , numerous JISC funded projects to develop the spec • XCRI-CAP v1.2, the XCRI Course Advertising Profile is an XML specification. Learning providers can publish their courses information in the standard XCRI-CAP format, so that it can be collected easily by organisations with course search services such as UCAS. • Opening up HEI offerings of learning providers creates new possibilities for value-added services and information channels for universities, colleges, and training providers.

  5. XCRI UK HEI ONLINE Course Catalog • Increase the availability of high-quality, accurate information about part-time, online and distance learning opportunities offered by UK HEIs • Fund institutions to make the process and technical innovations necessary to release an XML feed of their course-related information • Create proof-of-concept aggregator and discovery service to bring together this course information and enable prospective students to search it

  6. XCRI Who may benefit from this work ? • Students – make better informed choice via accurate, up-to-date comparable course information. • HEIs – increase visibility of courses; improve management of course-related information, leading to process efficiencies, improved data quality and business intelligence • Education sector – greater visibility of courses to promote UK HE overseas. Facilitates analysis of course offerings at national or regional level. • Aggregator bodies/course information providers –data freely available adding to existing catalogues or services.
