Brainstorming on Course format

Contributors

  • Jose Cuevas

What is happening?

  • Course information is available in disparate formats which makes it hard to compare information, extract information and find information.
  • Students Information Systems lack proper data exchange schemes and standards.
  • No data syndication of course information among campuses.

Why would it help?

  • A community format allows the use and sharing of course data commonly publish on the web.
  • Provides semantics to academic information.
  • Provides means to mechanically operate on web content for data that otherwise is published on PDF, printed, published with proprietary EDI or XML interfaces or worst jailed in a SIS database.
