Enhancing Course Information Sharing with XCRI Standards

The XCRI (eXchanging Course-Related Information) project aims to establish a standardized XML format for describing courses, addressing the national agenda of informed choice regarding learning opportunities. Currently, while standards exist for information exchange about people and organizations, no consistent method exists for courses. This project allows institutions to publish detailed course data, aiding learners in searching aggregators and regional portals accurately. By streamlining course information sharing, XCRI supports institutions and facilitates student decision-making.
