==Some Microformat use in Education==<br />
<br />
Here is a list of edu sites that use microformats:<br />
<br />
*[http://mays.tamu.edu Mays Business School at Texas A&M University] in our [http://mays.tamu.edu/directory/ faculty directory] choose an individual and they will have an hCard and vcard. For info contact [mailto:mherzberger@mays.tamu.edu Matt Herzberger]<br />

==Where could there be a need for microformats in education?==<br />
<br />
===Course Catalog===<br />
<br />
A course catalog (sometimes known as a course calendar) is a collection of courses and when they are available as well as fee schedules and course dependencies. <br />
<br />
====Examples====<br />
<br />
* [http://www.ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/ University of Waterloo Course Calendar] - current system is set for an upgrade but as you can see the code is very inconsistent.<br />
** Course information is displayed with: <br />
*** course title<br />
*** course requirements<br />
*** eligibility requirements<br />
*** any notes that are relevant to that course such as any special circumstances <br />
*** [http://www.ucalendar.uwaterloo.ca/ARTS/anthropology.html (Anthropology Example)] - no class or id names present<br />
* [http://www.uoguelph.ca/undergrad_calendar/ University of Guelph undergrad calendar] - there is an attempt to assign relevant class names to table elements.<br />
<br />
tr class="title"<br />
a name="ANTH4300" ANTH*4300 Anthropological Issues F (3-0) [0.50]<br />
tr class="description"<br />
tr class="prereqs"<br />
<br />
* [http://www.wlu.ca/calendars/index.php?cal=1&y=3 Wilfried Laurier undergrad calendar]<br />
** [http://www.wlu.ca/calendars/course.php?c=4707&cal=1&d=174&s=57&y=3 Anthropology example] - no class or id names present<br />
